The Hill-Top Creative Arts Foundation (HCAF) invites poets from across Africa and the diaspora to submit entries for its upcoming Pan-Africanist Poetry Anthology. This project seeks to spotlight powerful poetic voices that interrogate and reimagine Africa’s present and future through the lens of Pan-Africanism.
Poems must engage with themes such as sovereignty, blackness, neo-colonialism, governance, youth, leadership, development, African unity, and other urgent questions shaping the continent in the 21st century. Submissions must not exceed 25 lines.
All poems must be submitted as a document attachment. Entries pasted in the body of the email will not be considered. A short bio and a clear photograph of the writer should accompany each submission.
Deadline: 30th June 2025
Email submissions to: pan.africanism@hilltopfoundation.com.ng

Could you please inform me of the qualifications for entering a poem. For example, I am a Tanzanian writer, but born British. I have lieved in Tanzania for 50 years and became a Tanzanian citizen 43 years ago. Am I eligible to send a poem?
Yes, you are qualified! Since you are a Tanzanian citizen, you meet the eligibility criteria. Just ensure your poem follows the submission guidelines. Good luck!
