Monthly Update for February 2013 + Winners for March Edition

Wow! It has been a beautiful, fun-filled month for TASW. We had our maiden edition of Valentine’s “Kiss A Book” competition and it was every bit as special as we thought it was going to be.
The entries for our March and once more, maiden edition of TASW competition came pouring in in high numbers.
There were so much beautiful pieces; it was nearly hard picking out the ‘best’ which only made it a more alluring experience for the TASW team.
The theme was “Africa: The Art of Building it” with an underlying instruction to African Street Writers to create the beautiful pieces they are known for which would serve as building blocks for creating the Africa we desire…in other words; Write African for Africa and the world.
After many readings, the TASW team has picked 19 pieces for its March edition, with two overall winners for the two advertised categories, and they are:
