Short story competition for learners
Get pen to paper and write an entry for this year's Time of the Writer schools short story competition.
THE 17th Time of the Writer International Writers’ Festival hosted by the Centre for Creative Arts, University of KwaZulu-Natal invites high school learners to submit their short stories for the annual Schools Short Story Competition by Thursday, 28 February.
Held in conjunction with the festival, The Time of the Writer Schools Short Story Competition is open to all high school learners and aims to encourage creative expression in young people. This competition is the springboard for future storytellers of South Africa. With its long-standing commitment towards nurturing a culture of reading and writing, especially amongst the youth, this competition has received wide and growing appeal in previous editions of Time of the Writer. There is no particular topic for the short stories and they can be written in English, isiZulu or Afrikaans. A maximum of 5 pages (preferably typed) are to be written. Illegible entries will not be considered.
Entries can be submitted via email: cca@ukzn.ac.za, fax: 031 260 3074 or by hand delivery to the Centre for Creative Arts, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Howard College Campus, Mazisi Kunene Ave, Durban, 4041, South Africa.
