Just got this information from a credible source and I thought I should share it with fellow Nairalanders.

This is an international short story contest with a cash reward of $10,000 for the winner among other perks.

If you have a good short story with a unique perspective, I suggest that you jump on this wagon before it leaves.

Hint: Since the release of Marvel's Black Panther movie, African stories have become highly sort after.

I would participate in I were into story telling, but I'm not - at least for now.

I'm currently focused on my freelance Web content writing, blog writing and copy writing.

I want a Nigerian to bring home this huge cash reward.

If you do, no forget your boy o!

Hope you benefit from this short story contest.
