Afritondo

The Afritondo Short Story Prize is open to citizens or nationals of an African country, writers with a parent who is a national of an African country, and writers of Black ethnicity or a Black minority population anywhere in the world. Stories run 3,000 to 5,000 words, must reflect the cycle's theme, and must not have been previously published or shortlisted for another prize; one entry per writer is judged anonymously through a Dapple submission link, and longlisted stories enter an anthology. The official terms page for the 2026 cycle states no deadline, theme, or prize amount, and no later cycle is announced on the site.
