Calling all writers: Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature 2011


Writers are reminded that Sanlam and Tafelberg are once again awaiting entries for the Sanlam Prize for Youth Literature.

This time round the organisers are looking for a story in which hope plays a role.

  • English,
  • Afrikaans,
  • Nguni-languages,
  • Sotho-languages,
  • Tshivenda,

The deadline for entries is 30 June 2011.
