Call for Entries into The New Man Gospel Writing Contest 2022

 

The New Man Gospel Writing Contest is a yearly project organised by the New Man Movement. The writing contest evolved to recognise the efforts and excellence of Christian writers and creatives, show them to the world and ultimately preach the gospel of Christ through creative writing.

In our blog post earlier this year, we gave a background story about the New Man Writing Contest and how far we have come. Reading this background story will give you insights as to how the New Man Gospel Writing Contest is organised, its submission guidelines, judge history and past prize winners. You can read the full article here to keep yourself updated with details of past editions of this writing contest. You can also see entries from the previous editions here
