6 winners clinched 25 000 FCFA Each!
Climate change awareness subsists as a primordial prerequisite in climate actions. Lack of data, interest and youth participation in climate change endeavours accounts for this knowledge gap. In a bid to create a knowledge niche on climate change in Dschang, ICAD Enterprise launched the first edition of the ICAD–Commonwealth Creative Writing Competition. In consortium with the Commonwealth Club of the University of Dschang, this activity was perfectly timed to commemorate the 2020 edition of the Commonwealth Day, on 09th March 2020.
All You needed was to Think creatively, write… and boom! you bag home 25000FCFA, Very rare in our context
The Memorable
Under the coordination of Tsemo Leonce Sandrine (Programme Officer, ICAD), Nsom Carlson Nsom (Chairperson of the Commonwealth Club, University of Dschang) and Nfor Celder (Cultural Affairs Officer, Commonwealth Club, University of Dschang), a call was launched to select 6 winners, based on the creativity of their texts, the originality and its relevance to the theme and subject matter. The competitors were grouped into 2 different categories (University students and Secondary schools). By the Deadline of 07th March 2020, a total of 22 texts were received, checked for plagiarism and blindly reviewed by an independent jury.
