The Prize has been created in honour of the distinguished African scholar and historian, Professor Toyin Fálọlá, whose contributions to the field of African history and culture have continued to place Africa on the map and accord it its deserved recognition. The Toyin Fálọlá Prize is meant to honour the scholar’s endeavours and contributions to the advancement of African cultures, peoples, myths, and histories.

The organisers invite submissions from writers across the continent. A particular aim is to encourage young African writers to reach to the core of Africa to make, remake, affirm, and re-affirm the African (hi)story creatively. Presently, the prize is worth 700 dollars for a single winner from any country in Africa, which will make it one of the largest literary prizes in the continent. The inaugural edition of the prize will be judged by Mukoma wa Ngugi and Adunni Abimbola Adelakun.

The submission process opens on January 01 and closes again on April 15, 2020.
