Africana Homestead Poetry & Short Story Contests
Africana Homestead Poetry and Short Story Contests
This is the third year of contest which focuses on short stories and poems highlighting the black experience in the US. Winners receive cash award, engraved award, and 3 copies of anthology. Honorable mention recipients also published.
I quite like these two contests … not only for the unique focus but because there are childrens and youth categories. Many contests are open to “all ages” but that means someone who is 10 years old is competing against someone who is 30.
