The modernization of literary institution is a manifestation of the modernization of literature，while literary awards are an important aspect of the literary institution. Since the 1990s，Laos has taken the opportunity of establishing a state-led national literary award to continuously attract local writers as well as poets to devote themselves to literary creation. At the same time，the Lao government also encourages local writers and poets to actively participate in regional literary awards such as the S.E.A.Write Award and the Mekong River Literature Award. In 2022，Laos participated in three large-scale literary awards related activities，and several local literary competitions across the country，literary awards then became an important part of the development of Lao literature this year. Through literary awards，Laos has not only effectively promoted the modernization of its contemporary literature，but also played a positive role in bringing Lao literature and culture to the regional stage.
