sino: 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.

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

[quote author=Mynd_44]There are things called money transfer or gift certificates which can be used in a lot of countries.

And there is always the option of mail...not e-mail but DHL and stuff[/quote]why can't we just focus on the creativity and togetherness this competition would bring? Its a first competition of this kind, this is more like a trial.

Tgirl4real: Well, it wouldn't be a bad idea if he is willing to help.
would the sponsor reach those who are not in Nigeria? Say a winner is from S.A, the States, Kenya, Europe. How will the prize reach them?

I think if we go on the sponsorship lane there will be conflicts of interest.

Literature › Re: Nairaland - Making A Story Out Of This Forum. by HumbledbYGrace(f): 2:31pm On Jul 04, 2013
Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]I found this interesting. Although, initially i had a similar idea but i declined it due to the work i have at hand.
My idea was making a drama thread in the literature section, were an individual NL moniker would be the actors of the drama. But when i thought of the chit chats that would make the thread bumpy, i just have to wave it aside.
Anyways, that's a good inventive.
[/color]
it can be done in a form of a novel or drama. I think we could try and work on our direct speech so that we will not get it wrong. You wanna give it a try?
