THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) is now accepting entries to its 2019 Writers’ Prize, which is given biennially to one writer in each of these five categories: poetry, novel, essay or creative non-fiction, short story and drama.
The award — in the gross amount of P250,000 — will assist each winner during the writing of his or her manuscript. The award is good for one year, after which their manuscripts must be submitted to the NCCA.
