EVENTS >>> Call For Submission: Poetry Mentorship/Residency Programme




This is to invite interested poets to apply for participation in the first IBPF Poetry Workshop. The Workshop is specifically for the upcoming and potential Nigerian writer who desires to be mentored by an established poet. The mentorship programme is an 8-week workshop via virtual interaction including email exchanges between mentor-poet and mentee-poet. This interaction will lead to an invitation to a Residency in Ibadan, for selected poets who fulfil communicated objectives in the course of their mentorship programme. We welcome applications from all
interested poets, including beginners and others with publishing history seeking further competence in the art. The main requirement for participation is an evidence of considerable commitment to form/presentation. The first IBPF Poetry Workshop would begin on May, 2 2016, and we are encouraging you to apply.
How to apply: Submit 5 poems with a brief note on why you think you should be a part of this workshop. ***Note that what we seek is promise, not perfection.
Please add a professional biography including publications, degrees, and some relevant personal information, and the poets you admire, if applicable.
Start Date: May 2, 2016
Deadline for submission: June 12, 2016, 12 PM GMT.
List of selected poets would be announced on this website and on this website in the last week of August.
