The countdown to the winner of this year’s Young Adult Literature Prize has begun, in the next 6 days, we shall share with you winners of the Zonal Prize who are also automatic contenders for the N1,500,000 Grand Prize.
Please meet…… Adoo Gyuur, our North Central Winner with her story, DAUGHTERS OF ASHES.
Adoo is a writer and avid reader who brings enthusiasm and skill to teaching both French and English. His love for languages fuels a dedication to cultural storytelling, as she explores narratives and experiences that reveal the essence of humanity—and channels these into creative writing beyond the classroom. When not nurturing minds or crafting stories, she finds joy in cooking, baking, and travelling in search of fresh perspectives and inspiration. With her rich interests and steadfast commitment to education, she aims to use her voice (writing) as a powerful instrument of change.
Adoo will take home N500,000 as the North Central Winner.
Winner will be announced at a brief ceremony on November 1
