 2024 Adinkra Poetry Prize

Writers are invited to submit three poems with each responding to/engaging with a single selected Adinkra symbol in the context of Ghana’s current political and socioeconomic state. Submissions are open to writers aged 18+ who are Ghanaian citizens and currently live in Ghana.

In light of the upcoming election year, we invite you to provide words that surprise, excite, frustrate, and incite us for change. Offer us a song for change, a chant, a prayer, or even a new national anthem. Additionally, share guidelines that can help us remain accountable to our nation, to ourselves, and to the love or hate we may feel in our relationship with our nation.

The prize is supported by the Center for Humanities (University of New Hampshire) and the Mellon Mays Foundation.

Winners in each category receive $200 USD. Three(3) Finalists will receive $70 USD
