It is a pleasure to announce the ongoing Golden Baobab Prize, a
literary award that annually invites entries of unpublished African-inspired
stories written for an audience of ages 8-11 years or 12-15 years. The
mission of the Golden Baobab Prize is to identify the African literary giants
of the next generation and produce excellent stories that will be appreciated
for years to come.
This year the prize will award $1,000 to the best story in
the junior category as well as the senior category and $800 to the most
promising young writer (18 years and below). Beyond that, the Golden Baobab
Prize offers to connect outstanding stories with African and international
publishers. The Prize is open to African citizens of all ages. Deadline
for submission is June 24, 2012.
The Golden Baobab seeks to ensure that in the next ten years
every young African will have access to excellent quality literature that they
can relate to.
