About The Eduthopia Poetry Prize

The Eduthopia Poetry prize is to celebrate, promote and develop poetry from Nigeria and give many young people a platform to be heard. The swelling call of secession across Nigeria in recent times has dominated the mainstream conversation and has hindered mutualism between ethnicities and regions and thus resulting in massive destruction of people and properties.

The theme for the inaugural prize is

 “Diversity: a road to unity”. 

Hence, poets who have the ability to invoke the power of narration and storytelling to enhance peace and unity in these trying times are invited to submit their entries.
