About the YouthEndFGM Call for Stories (August Edition) Prize

Are you a young African seeking creative ways to advocate for the elimination of Female Genital Mutilation? YouthHubAfrica in partnership with the African Youth Commission with funding support from the UNICEF-UNFPA Program on the elimination of Female Genital Mutilation in Africa has provided a platform (YouthEndFGM) for young people to use the art of Storytelling to disrupt the culture of silence on FGM; the monthly Storytelling Competition.

The task for the month of August:

We seek fictional stories that question harmful traditional practices, especially Female Genital Mutilation. Stories like we have never heard before, pushing boundaries and disrupting the culture of silence on FGM

Benefits of the YouthEndFGM prize

This is not all,

Eligibility:

NOTE: All stories must be original works of fiction as they will be subjected to a plagiarism test.

Judging:

The competition will be judged in three stages:

Stage One: Participants will submit their stories on the blogs page of the YouthendFGM website. The stories will go through an initial review and only stories that comply with our guidance will be published on the website.

Stage Two: Once the stories have been approved and published online, participants MUST share their published story on social media, to create engagements, thereby contributing to the advocacy to eliminate FGM in their networks. A minimum of 100 likes and 50 comments is required to move to stage 3.

Stage Three: Stories that successfully scale through stage 2 will be reviewed by a panel of Judges. They will consider Language, Presentation, Creativity and Relevance to the context.

Note: The Top 3 winners will be required to sign a commitment of engaging their audience with their published stories on social media to be able to claim their prize cash of $100 each
