I think sponsorship is a great idea. Presenting this to any company with a track record of promoting literature in Nigeria would bring a positive response.

Not necessarily publishing contract, an award and a gift would be wonderful. I think Seun should look into this, get some few people together and send proposals for sponsorship for this kind of programs. NL is not a small name in cyberspace when it comes to Nigeria, i'm sure it can open doors and get positive responses.

On a second thought, looking for sponsorship again would require the whole exercise to be standardized, for example, the aspect of judging and the judges that would be used for the competition and some other logistics too.

you hit it right on the head. If Seun and co goes for sponsorship it would have to take a different lane.

Cuddlemii:

I am not supposed to answer individual comments. But, I would oblige, just this once to clear the doubt.

No, you won't look for designers, but, we would pair you up with the fantastic designers we have.

Thank you!

Why don't you want to respond to individual comment? So who is suppose to respond, to suggestions and questions when it arises?

Usually when I organize activities like this, I respond to every single comment.
But, I realized it wasn't so easy.
So, the new method is to look at all the comments, collate them and address them using the general feedback.
By the way, the description of the competition is very descriptive. If you have other questions, let me know, myself or HBG can help.

These are all general feedback. These should clear the doubts.

Little things have always mattered to me
They make me smile and float like am on sea
Little gestures can rock my world
And make me lay my heart and pride at your door

If it lightens from within as the leaves does in the presence of the sun
I must experience it
If it makes you go gaga
I must go crazy
