The New Man Gospel Writing Contest is a yearly project organised by the New Man Movement. The writing contest evolved to recognise the efforts and excellence of Christian writers and creatives, show them to the world and ultimately preach the gospel of Christ through creative writing.

The 2023 edition of the New Man Gospel Writing Contest is a strategic assignment in line with our ministry's vision to birth new men by bringing them to Christ. To participate in the New Man Writing Contest 2023, kindly follow the instructions below.
Theme

The theme of the New Man Gospel Writing Contest 2023 is "Unashamed of the Gospel" (Romans 1:16). All entries must be creatively written in line with the general theme. However, your entries can be in form of:
