Thanks for the interest. You may join this blog (see the link on the side bar and post your article here (comment window).
Has this contest ended? I'm confused, Naijastories.com said 27 may and Willows Magazine blog said 27 July, which one is right?
Thanks Umoru. It was extended and would end on July 27. Thanks for the interest.
Living in the midst of whites with a black skin origin is not an easy task, what counts is your ENDURANCE to help you cope with the situation. This endurance together with DETERMINATION and HARDWORK were the tools that paved way for Amabo to rule the whites.
Thanks Umoru. We received your script. If you can send another one in British English. From an initial overview, we noticed that your script is written in American English; this may negatively impact the review of your work.
I'm sorry for sending the American English version, I didn't know it isn't allowed. I have been trying to reach this blog since this morning but, there was no network. Thanks for this competition.
We speak Bristish English in Nigeria which explains why we did not find it necessary to specify this in the requirement. Despite the fact that Nigerian journalists continue to display a mix of British and American English in the media, students of literature must never be guilty of this error. If we don't stand for something, we will fall for anything. Please edit and resend your story. If done before 8AM on Monday 31st July it would be considered for this cycle otherwise, it may not stand the chance of being shortlisted. But, all entries will be reviewed.
Thanks so much, I had sent the British English copy. I believe you have it now. More strength to your elbow.
