The Alhaji Arole Agarawu African Poetry Prize celebrates excellence in African poetry and honors the legacy of Alhaji Arole Agarawu, a distinguished patron of the arts and advocate for African literary traditions.
This prestigious award recognizes poets who demonstrate exceptional craft, cultural insight, and innovative expression in their work. The prize aims to elevate African voices in contemporary poetry and foster a deeper appreciation for the continent's rich literary heritage.
Through this initiative, we seek to create a platform that not only honors outstanding poetic achievement but also inspires future generations of African poets to continue pushing the boundaries of literary expression.
