Golden Baobab 2012- Call for Submissions
Dear Writer and Friend,
I
am excited to announce the ongoing Golden Baobab Prize 2012. As you may
know, The Golden Baobab Prize is an African literary award that
annually invites entries of unpublished African stories written by
African authors - of all ages - for a reader audience of ages 8 to11
years or 12 to 15 years. I wish to personally invite you to submit
entries for this year's prize.
The
Golden Baobab Prize will award $1,000 to the best story in each
category (junior or senior) and $800 to the most promising young writer
(18 years and below). Beyond that, the Golden Baobab Prize offers to
connect outstanding stories with leading African and international
publishers. You may submit a total of 5 stories. Deadline for submission
is June 24, 2012.
Please
share news of the prize within your writing networks. You can forward
this email, follow us on Twitter or Facebook or share our website -
www.goldenbaobab.org.
The
goal of the Golden Baobab Prize is to discover and celebrate the most
promising African writers of children and young adult stories. It is a
great pleasure to send this personal invitation and I hope I can count
on your support to make this year’s prize a successful one.
Warmly,
Maureen Atebawone
Golden Baobab Prize Co-ordinator
