Dear Friend,
It is a pleasure to announce the
fifth annual Golden Baobab Prize, a literary award
that invites entries of unpublished African-inspired
stories written for young audiences
below the age of twelve. The mission
of the Golden Baobab Prize is to inspire
African writers to create
enthralling African stories that will inspire the imaginations of
generations of African children. It is important to note that
we have made some crucial changes
to the 2013 Prize in order to better our mission.
This year, Golden Baobab will award three prizes:
-
The
Picture Book Prize awards
$1,000 to the best story
written for readers ages 6-8;
-
The
Early Chapter Book Prize
awards
$1,000 to the best story
written for readers ages 9-11;
-
The
Rising Writer Prize awards
$1,000 to the most promising
young writer below the age of 18.
This
year’s prize packages include a publishing deal and opportunities to
attend exclusive Golden Baobab
writers’ workshops.
Additional rules and regulations can be found on
our website. Please note that the Golden Baobab Prize is open to African
citizens
of all ages. Deadline for submission
is July 14, 2013. We highly encourage entrants to submit their stories early.
Please support
the Golden Baobab Prize by:
1. Forwarding this email on to interested persons or organizations.
2. Encouraging eligible persons (i.e. African citizens of all ages)
in your networks to write and submit their stories.
3. Printing
out and putting up our catchy poster (http://bit.ly/1100GFq).
It should only take a minute!
4. Writing a story yourself! You can find our rules and regulations
here - http://bit.ly/155hlfh
The Golden Baobab seeks to ensure that in the next ten years young
Africans everywhere will have access to excellent
quality literature
that they can relate to. We solicit your support in making this a
reality. Please help spread the word.
