[ZESTPoets] Announcing an award for young writers

Fri, 09 Sep 2005 09:47:24 -0700

TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA) invites entries for its first two annual awards for young Indian writers in English. Two cash awards of Rs. 25,000 each will be made on January 19, 2006.

 

BUT: If you are older than 30 on January 1, 2006, or live outside India, read no further!

 

ALSO:  The spirit of the Toto Awards is to identify promise and encourage young talent. Therefore, do not submit an entry if you are already a known name.

 

TFA is looking for entries in a variety of genres -- the novel, short stories and poetry.

 

The submissions should ideally not be more than 10,000 words. Two pieces of short fiction, or an extract from a novel, or between five and ten poems are recommended (but not mandatory) norms. Sensible combinations of the above are acceptable within the word limit.

 

Entries should reach TOTO FUNDS THE ARTS (TFA) before November 10, 2005.
