According to The New Times, Dominque Uwase Alonga, the founder of Imagine We Rwanda, said, “the Retelling Africa Writing Competition entries should feature stories based in Africa or about Africa and should just tell African stories. They (the stories) can be romance, thrillers, poetry books, and et cetera. We just want African narratives to be brought to light.”
