Afritondo Short Story Prize 2022


Afritondo has made a call out to interested writers to submit their best works for its second edition of the Afritondo Short Story Prize 2022 

The prize is for an unpublished work of fiction between 3000 and 5000 words.


  Afritondo Short Story Prize 2022 Theme

The theme for the Afritondo Short Story competition is titled "Identity". According to the organizers:

Recent global events such as the Black Lives Matter protests have again brought issues of race and prejudice to the fore. In this vein, we invite you to submit stories on the theme of “identity”. As always, we want to be surprised and thoroughly entertained, so feel free to play around with the theme. A good story for this prize will offer novel insight into the theme, explore characters in refreshing and imaginative ways, and challenge the art of storytelling.

Prizes For The Afritondo Short Story Prize 2022

The winner will receive a cash prize of $1000. 

Four other shortlisted writers will get $100 each. The longlist will be published in an anthology. 

In addition, they will also be looking to offer publishing contracts to selected writers.
