Punocracy is Nigeria’s first strictly satirical blog, with multiple columns authored by youth passionate about two things: writing and change. This year, Punocracy Prize is seeking entries for the country’s first satirical writing competition for young people between the ages of 15 and 30. We believe other forms of writing, from poetry to non-fiction, have received great attention, and it is high time we equally spotlit the significance of satirizing in opinion-shaping and nation-building. There is hardly a better way to do this than through a healthy rivalry.
