WORDS RHYMES & RHYTHM LTD is pleased to announce the ‘GREEN AUTHOR PRIZE’ for young, unpublished Nigerian poets.

The prize was initiated in recognition of the need to give upcoming writers a chance to get heard.

The prohibitive cost of publishing has silenced young writers without the required funds, limiting most to their Facebook walls and the occasional blog entries.

Therefore, in each edition of the annual ‘GREEN AUTHOR PRIZE, four young poets will be jointly published as co-authors.

Authors will be selected from four zone: North, South East and West of Nigeria by a team of young and established Nigerian writers.

  • Must be a NIGERIAN resident in NIGERIA

  • Select exactly TWENTY (20) poems in a Microsoft Word document using TIMES NEW ROMAN font

  • Send your entry as an email to SUBMISSIONS@WRR.NG with the document [containing the 20 poems] as attachment
  • Include your contact details and 150 word bio in the body of the email
