We believe that everyone has a story inside them, unique to them, only possibly told by them. Quramo Publishing Limited wants to encourage the inclination, the habit, the discipline and the art of telling these stories. They are important because of our collective identity, the sense of history they convey, because our stories are who we are.
The Prize calls for writers to submit unpublished work of fiction and nonfiction, and is open in two categories: a general prize and an under 16 prize. There will be one winner in each category. The award[s] consist of a cash prize, a publishing contract and more
