"Soŋay hantum konkossaa." Just caught this item - but too late. The deadline was 15 December. For more information, including the award date and ceremnony, see http://www.songhay.org/documents/songhay_kalala-concours-contest2011.pdf (which has text in Songhay, language grouping of the bend of the Niger River in Mali and Niger; French; and English).
The following is excerpted from an email by Mohomodou Houssouba to several email lists: * Best Wishes * We wish to send you our best wishes on the eve of Christmas, through the upcoming New Year holidays. Our Songhay writing contest is coming to a close. We appreciate all the original contributions sent to us so far. They will be forwarded to the jury for evaluation. For now, we would like to thank all the authors and the correspondents who helped us collect the writings. We hope that these moments of getting together bring you good fortune, joy and much to rejoice about.
