NoViolet Bulawayo & Uche Okonkwo
The Etisalat Prize for Literature is open for the submission of entries in the Flash Fiction category.
Here’s what the press release says:
‘In today’s fast paced world, communication is right at our finger tips through the use of smart devices; phones, tablets and the likes and people prefer to consume information on-the-go and in small bits. The flash fiction category therefore seeks to marry these concepts thus providing added value to mobile device users across Africa.’ Entry is open to the public, who would also be responsible for reviewing entries and ultimately voting the winner’
