Deadline: 28 March 2011
Write a mini-story approximately 60 words long with an ecological or nature conservation theme, and it could be published on a limited-edition Leopard’s Leap back label!
Any conservation-themed story qualifies, as long as you can tell it in 60 words. You may write about any ecological topic you are passionate about. The winner’s story will be printed on the back label of a limited-edition Leopard’s Leap bottle series, which will be sold countrywide. The lucky winner will also walk away with a Mont Blanc pen and a case of Leopard’s Leap wine.
Depending on the quality and number of entries, LitNet hopes to publish all entries continuously. One winner per language will be selected at the beginning of April by two judges. The closing date is 28 March 2011. Send your entry to wen@litnet.co.za.
Leopard’s Leap is a proud sponsor of South African literature and nature conservation. We support the Cape Leopard Trust (www.capeleopard.org.za), which helps protect the endangered Cape leopard.
