2025 LSI Longlist Announcement
Literary Students Initiative 2025 Longlist Announcement:
Stark Pages Creative and Literary Arts Initiative is delighted to unveil the Longlist for the 2025 Literary Students Initiative (LSI).
This year we received outstanding entries from secondary schools across Nigeria. Our panel of agents, editors, and writers selected 50 students based purely on literary merit. The grades are awarded purely on literary merit. Our judges have a difficult task selecting just three winners from such a talented group.
Our judges will meet in July 2025 to decide the winners for this year. We will announce who they are on 31st July.
All Longlisted names will be published in our annual anthology, releasing in August 2025, with complimentary copies sent to the students and their schools in September.
Follow us on social media to meet this year's judges and stay updated.
