Deadline: November 10, 2018
Are you a writer or a poet aged 21 years or younger as at December 2018 and resident in Nigeria? Do you love to script poems or write short stories with twists and wickedly suspenseful? If yes, this is your chance to win amazing cash prizes in the ongoing 2018 edition of Kreative Diadem Annual Creative Writing Contest.
The Writing Contest is receiving entries in two genres – poetry and flash fiction.
- Poetry: They love the way poems leave a trace of emotions everywhere. They are words that pierce the soul just to drop a message and even leave some eyes misty. It’s not compulsory to write like Shakespeare, they only need you to provoke their thoughts.
- Flash Fiction: Writers live twice because even when they are no more, their stories do the talking for them. They love wickedly suspenseful fiction with twists here and there. Tell them a unique story, make them believe it’s true and go home with a cash prize.
