Magic Oxygen Literary Prize Anthology — Multiple Authors

This remarkable anthology contains the shortlisted and winning entries from the Magic Oxygen Literary Prize 2014-15. There are 10 short stories and 10 poems in total and the top 5 in each category won the following: 1st prize 1,000, 2nd 300, 3rd 100, highly commended 2 x 50. Entries for the competition arrived from 31 countries and there are 4 countries represented on the combined shortlists. There were 22 judges from the UK and around the world comprising authors, some with international best selling credentials, editors, publishers, producers, professional and performance poets, readers, writers, bloggers and critics. It is hoped there will be a great deal of media coverage for the prize and the anthology, particularly in the sustainable field. Its environmentally friendly USP came in a commitment to plant a tree for every entry in a tropical Word Forest. A further commitment was made to build an urgently needed classroom at Kundeni Primary School in Bore, Kenya. A further tree will be planted for each copy of the anthology sold."
