Call For Entries – June Writing Contest

Call for Entries – June Writing Contest

How would you write a letter to a mysterious character from your past, present, or future? For this edition, we’re looking for stories that address the mysterious; intriguing stories that can cut across any theme, written in epistolary form. But don’t get carried away with the relatively strict form of letter writing. Let us say, “wow!” after reading your story.

Guidelines for submission

#Word count: 500 – 1000 words

#There is no theme. You are free to be as creative as possible.

#Send your entry to submissions@dlitreview.com, as a word document attachment.

#Include your contact details with your submission.

#Deadline for submission is 28th June 2022.

#Prizes for the winning stories:

1st place – N2,000, and publication on the website.

2nd place – N1,000

3rd place – N500
