Unpublished writers now have the opportunity to enter for the 2016 edition of the Etisalat Prize for Literature, Flash Fiction Award.
Entries opened September 1 and will close October 14, 2016. You can
enter for this prize by submitting your captivating stories of not more
than 300 words.
In today’s fast paced world where
communication is right at our finger tips through the use of smart
devices; phones, tablets and the likes, consumers prefer to consume
information on-the-go and in bite sized chunks. Etisalat continues its
effort to inspire and encourage creativity by creating a category which
recognizes unpublished writers. The Flash Fiction Award therefore seeks
to marry both of these concepts together thus providing added value to
mobile device users across Africa.
Here’s how to enter:
- All entries will be submitted online via the website http://prize.etisalat.com.ng/flash-fiction/apply
- On approval of stories, participants are required to share the links to their stories on social media channels to garner votes when voting begins in November 2016.
The Top 50 stories will be published as an e-book compilation by okadabooks.com
and promoted online and via SMS after which a winner and two runners-up
will be unveiled by a panel of judges made up of seasoned writers,
authors and literary enthusiasts.
Re-emphasizing Etisalat’s commitment to supporting creativity, the Head, Event and Sponsorships, Etisalat Nigeria, Modupe Thani
said the platform creates an avenue for budding African writers to have
a voice and express their abilities thereby giving them a springboard
for recognition.
