Mini-Competitions on TwoCents

MINI-COMPETITIONS

Mini competitions are shorter, smaller contests than TwoCents' main essay and spoken-word competitions.

They typically last a few days and are often themed around world days, trending issues, or other timely topics.

Entries for mini-competitions are regular insights/posts, rather than essays.

At the end of each competition, we reward between 3 and 10 of the top posts based on either content quality or engagement score.

One Africa, or 54 Different Nations? 🌍

One Africa, or 54 Different Nations? 🌍 Are we truly united by a shared identity, or merely connected by geography? We want to hear your perspective. Write a compelling mini-essay exploring what African unity means to you, the forces that bring us together, and what continues to divide us. (Non-Nigerian users ONLY)
