Will reward writers of the best stories in two categories
The Golden Baobab Prize has invited submission of unpublished short stories written by children and young adult Africans.
The Golden Baobab Prize, an annual African literary award, was established to encourage the writing of African literature for children and young adults by recognising gifted authors of the genre.
Entries are open for unpublished African-inspired stories written for an audience of 8 to 11-years-old, and 12 to 15-years-old.
The prize will award $1,000 each to the best stories in the two categories and $800 to the most promising young writer, 18 years and younger.
The Golden Baobab Prize will work to connect outstanding stories with African and international publishers.
The deadline for submissions is June 24, 2012 and winners will be announced in November 2012. For submission guidelines, visit: http://www.goldenbaobab.org/how-to-enter/submission-guidelines.html
