In 2016, the New Man Writing Contest started as a yearly prose and poetry writing contest powered by The New Man and NELOC Media. At the time, the writing contest was targeted at the promotion of literary works by combing through the forest of literary virginity among students of secondary schools in Africa.
Call for Submissions
Yearly, The New Man Movement Calls for submissions into the New Man Writing Contest. These submissions are thereafter screened by literary and language experts.
