Every year thousands of African youth experience challenges as they travel across the African continent. This often translates to lost opportunities for work, business and leisure because of onerous visa processes.
The writing competition is one of the platforms under the #VisaFreeAfrica Campaign that is aimed at putting a face to the large number of young Africans missing out on these opportunities. VisaFreeAfrica invite you to share your story and spread awareness on the need for a #VisaFreeAfrica.
Competition Criteria:
- The contest is open to all African nationals residing in Africa between the ages of 18-35 years.

- The article should be up to 1,000 words
- You can choose to write in English, French Portuguese or Arabic.
