The Linda Ayade Literary Art Competition was conceived to promote literary capacity among Cross Riverians and reward creativity and competence in literay works including Poetry and Prose.
Her Excellency, the wife of the Governor of Cross River State, Dr. Mrs. Linda Ayade's concern for the dearth of literary skills among young people in Cross River state gave birth to the Linda Ayade Literary Art Competition.
Now in its 2nd edition, the competition has gained acceptance in literary space and has impacted positively on the creative citizens with potential to further develop the creative industry in the state.
The 2018 edition of the competition held successfully with the theme, “Cross River State: A Rich Cultural Heritage”. Hundreds of exciting entries were received with winners emerging through a very competitive process. From the number and quality of entries received, it was clear that the competition is already having the intended impact on the target population.
The 2nd edition of the competition still has two categories, the poetry category and the prose category. Each category has a prize money of one thousand pounds for the winner. The theme of this edition is Cross River State: Spirit of Enterprise.
Participants are expected to register, write and submit their entries to the website between 5th October 2019, when the submission of entries open and 31st of October, 2019 when submission of entries closes.
Voting will take place online on the facebook page of the competition in November, 2019 and scores from the online voting will form fifty percent of the of the total winning scores while the judges scores will make up the other fifty percent.
