    Page Turner Awards Invites African Writers for the Fifth Year

    The renowned Page Turner Awards, an international writing competition that celebrates exceptional storytelling, proudly announces its opening to submissions for the 2024 season.

    The commencement of its annual writing competition invites wordsmiths from every corner of the globe to submit their captivating narratives.

    Now in its fifth year, Page Turner Awards extends a warm invitation to African writers.

    Whether you’re capturing the cultural diversity of Africa, sharing a rags-to-riches story rooted in its history, exploring contemporary issues, or the next-big-story like the fantastic tale of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Page Turner Awards welcomes diverse narratives that reflect the rich tapestry of African culture and family life, especially for the new and exciting Culture Award launched in 2024.

    The competition encompasses three distinct categories: the Book Award for published works, the Writing Award for unpublished manuscripts, and the Screenplay Award for unproduced scripts.

    A distinguished judging panel, comprising different industry experts, including literary agents, publishers, and film producers, looking for scripts to option, will meticulously assess each submission, ensuring that the highest standards of literary excellence are upheld. Once reviewed, they will select the winners, who will receive a range of valuable prizes, including book deals, literary consultations, and more.

    In its commitment to promoting diversity and inclusivity, Page Turner Awards is introducing two new Equality Awards: the Culture Award and the Phoenix Award. The Culture Award will recognize a work that celebrates diversity and promotes understanding between different cultures. The Phoenix Award will honour a writer who has overcome adversity and emerged with stronger writing.

    Pramudith Rupasinghe, a psychosocial expert and a humanitarian for over 25 years, said, “What an incredible piece of thought! This is a humanitarian dream come true. I am wholeheartedly with you in this endeavour. It fills a significant void I have been noticing in writing contests around the world.

    Entering the Page Turner Awards is a great opportunity for writers to get their work noticed and to take their writing careers to the next level, said Paula Sheridan, founder of the Page Turner Awards. The judging panel is always impressed by the high quality of submissions we receive. With our new Equality Awards, the Culture Award and the Phoenix Award, both reflect our commitment to amplifying voices that deserve to be heard. We are excited to see what new and exciting stories this year’s competition will bring.

    Writers, irrespective of their background or experience, are encouraged to submit their entries and vie for the chance to be recognized on a global stage. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your work recognized by a prestigious panel of judges.
