We are excited to announce our writing contest on the topic of women empowerment. We are looking for thought-provoking and insightful essays that explore the various ways in which women can be empowered, both personally and collectively. Whether it be through education, career opportunities, political representation, overcoming obstacles, or any other means, we want to hear your ideas on how we can create a more equitable and empowering society for women. Submissions should be no longer than 2,500 words. Poetry may be up to 3 pages long, single-spaced. Illustrations must be high-resolution images in JPEG or PNG format. All submissions will be evaluated based on originality, clarity, and relevance to the theme. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2023. We can’t wait to read your submissions!
