According to the press release, the winners of the 2023 edition of the contest are – Teriba Korede Michael (Poetry Category), Jude Mark Samuel (Prose Category), Iheme Favour Chioma (Article Category) and Lois Ayomide Olusegun (Drama Category).
Congratulating the winners, Mr Nelson Vincent appreciated the efforts of the writers in the contest from putting pen to paper, down to the online website voting stage by the shortlisted entrants. He also commended the literary skill, exemplary choice of words and the overall adherence of the writers to the theme of the contest.
The 2023 Gospel Writing contest which was themed “Unashamed of the Gospel” was inspired by Scriptures in Romans 1:16. The contest team collected submissions from across Nigeria between 31st January, 2023 and 1st March, 2023.
Looking forward to the contest in 2024, the President noted that since it’s launch in 2017, the New Man Gospel Writing Contest has been a yearly project organised by the New Man Movement. Today, the writing contest has evolved to recognise the efforts and excellence of Christian writers and creatives, show them to the world and ultimately preach the gospel of Christ through creative writing.
