Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Bhuchung Sonam has been awarded the Ostana Prize; Phayul quotes the prominent Tibetan poet as saying he is “extremely honoured to be given this award, which [brings] recognition for Tibetan language and culture that are being eliminated in Tibet under China”. The annual Italian award, Writings in the Mother Tongue is awarded to literary authors who use a “mother tongue”, a present-day minority language of territorial belonging, in their works.
