The annual Critic Challenge is a call for critics and critical writers in the culture scene in Africa. Organised for the first time by CREETIQ, the foremost aggregator of African films, music and literature. The focus for the maiden edition is on critical commentary on works of art in films, music and literature, produced or released between 2016 and 2017 that embodies this year’s theme “rewriting the African narrative”.

The Critic Challenge aims to encourage and reward talented critical writers to awaken a seeming latent and fast declining reviewing culture in the creative industry in Africa.1 Beyond the economics of art, this sets a standard for quality creative and cultural output that is recognised globally and helps consumers of art and other creative works make informed decisions.

The winning entries would be rewarded with monetary prizes up to N500.000.

How To Participate

To enter for The Critic Challenge 2017, participants are required to submit a critique of 2 out of 5 subjects from the film, music or literature category of no more than 850 words.
