We've all gone AWOL for a bit. I hope that means life is good and we're just so busy.
Well, I have another announcement:
There is once again an new writing competition, this time open to Ghanaian Writers. It is called the Burt Award for African Literature. This year's is the second edition, I believe.
The Award is organised by the Ghana Book Trust and sponsored by CODE, a Canadian NGO, with support from Canadian patron, Bill Burt.
Three awards will be presented annually:
Gold: CAD $12,000
Silver: CAD $6,000
Bronze: CAD $3,000
Prizes will be paid in Ghanaian Cedis, so may be affected by currency exchange rates.
I don't yet know when the deadline is, but I understand it is in April 2010. I'll confirm later.
For more information, check out the official announcement on the Ghana Book Trust website.
I hope you're getting out those old Young Adult manuscripts!
Cheers
FWoWA
