RIDAPAD LAUREATE CONTEST
Dear Writers,
RIDAPAD LAUREATE CONTEST
Ridapad a company built on the foundation of growing the world of readers and writers is launching its writing contest. This isn’t the first writing contest by Ridapad, but this is one of a kind, as the ground prize is 200,000 naira to be awarded to our winner. This contest is programmed to be held 4 times a year, and as a writer, if you cannot meet our requirements, we are hopeful you’ll do so in forthcoming contests.
The Ridapad laureate contest is specific to certain forms of writing. Currently, we only accept prose, comics, drama, and poetry works (and any work under the forms mentioned above, be it short stories, novels, comics, collections, anthologies, etc.). All entries for this contest would be published on Ridapad with a paid fee of 300 naira only. We have not ascribed any word count to this contest or theme, also there isn’t preference for published or unpublished works, as well as previously submitted for any contest. Our purpose is to serve literature and open more opportunities to writers and readers.
