Unveiling the Nwamaka Okoye Literature Prize

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Nwamaka Okoye Literature Prize, a beacon for Africa's emerging literary talents. This year, we invite unpublished authors of Nigerian origin to share their unique "Coming of Age" stories and poems, offering a platform to voice your narratives and experiences.

With substantial cash prizes and the chance to be published, this is your opportunity to embark on a remarkable literary journey. Dive into our guidelines, prepare your manuscripts, and be ready to submit your entries starting tomorrow.

One question we have repeatedly received is addressed below.

Q. Will entries from self-published authors be accepted?

Answer: If you have self-published your work and have not been traditionally published by a recognized publishing house, you are eligible to apply to our competition. We believe that every author deserves a chance to showcase their talent, and we look forward to receiving your entries.

Together, let's celebrate the power of words and the stories that define us.
