***********************************************************************
To all you budding poets - The First Annual Scribes’ Prize
***********************************************************************

"Are you a closet poet?"
"Hiding your light under a bushel?"
"Do you sometimes wonder what would happen if someone read your poem and gave it the recognition it deserves?"
"Would you like that to happen?"

Here’s your chance. The first Annual Scribes’ Prize will be announced in September 2009. You could be the winner, but not if your poem is still hidden in your notebook. Why not submit a poem or two to the Scribes and see what happens. If you do that before 27th of March, you have the chance to:

• Have your poem judged by 3 distinguished Nigerian academics
• Win a cash prize

or

• If you’re not one of the winners, yours could still be one of the 300 poems published in the first Scribes’ Prize anthology
• Attend a high profile award ceremony
• …
• And lots more

To enter, you have to be:

• A Nigerian, whether living in Nigeria or abroad
• Between 11 and 40
• Have one or two poems, no longer than 40 lines or 300 words long

Have it sent before 27th March to International.office@scribesprize.org
