Toyin Falola Prize

The Toyin Falola Prize (TFP) calls for submissions for its 5th edition.

 

Lunaris invite African narratives that delve deep into the intricate intersectionality of Nature, Mother, Life, Earth, Technology, and Artificial Intelligence. They are seeking stories that unravel the complexities of these preoccupations, exploring their symbiotic relationships, their tensions, and their harmonies.

Do you have a narrative that reimagines our connection to the world around us? Or perhaps you’re drawn to narratives that challenge conventional boundaries, question established norms, and invite readers to see the familiar through a new lens? TFP welcome submissions that dare to deconstruct, complicate, and reimagine the very essence of these categories. Bring your most thought-provoking, boundary-pushing stories that blur the lines between reality and imagination.

 

• Creative and genre-bending submissions are highly welcomed (including those hard to categorize) except erotica and chic-lit.
• Witty language and humour are especially welcomed.
• The narratives can be either factual or fiction, or a mixture of both; however, the genre must be clearly indicated by the entrant, which does not in any way influence/constrain the chances of the submission, as originality, creativity, and delivery are principal criteria.
• The writer should not be below the age of 15 or above 35 at the time of submission.
• There is no limit to the number of words; however, we would prefer submissions within the range of 1,500 – 4,500 words.
