Nigerian writers are on the march again for the $100,000 Nigeria Prize for Literature as NLNG management has handed over 252 entries to the Literary Committee.
The organisers made this known on its Facebook page where it also noted that 37 entries were received for the Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism.
It enthused: “The literary showdown has officially begun!
“Today at the Lagos Continental, NLNG handed over 252 entries for The Nigeria Prize for Literature and 37 entries for The Nigeria Prize for Literary Criticism to the Advisory Board and Panel of Judges — setting the stage for what’s already being dubbed the most competitive edition yet!
“According to Dr. Sophia Horsfall, NLNG’s GM, External Relations and Sustainable Development, the submissions show that Nigerian literature is not just alive — it’s thriving, loud, and commanding the world’s attention.
Now, with the judges deep in pages, the big question is: who will rise to the top and take home the crown?
Let the battle of the pens begin! (And trust us, you don’t want to blink!)”
