ZAA director Conrad Mwanza said: “Instead of nominating for the best writer, as in other categories, we have set up a writing competition to encourage, inspire and celebrate the best literary talent in Zimbabwe.
“We are looking to them to compile the cream of the submissions into body of literary works that will be available for the public. We are aiming to make this an annual fixture on the literary calendar and hopefully become an incentive to positively encourage young and emerging writers,” he said.
Entries for the competition are already being accepted via the websitewww.zimachievers.com
Stories submitted have a cap of 5 000 words and should be presented before the December 20 deadline.
“The award is open to all Zimbabwean nationals resident in the country or elsewhere. The story entered must be unpublished, original and in English,” Mwanza said.
“We are also taking only one entry per author.”
