We will nation-build through narratives, create and curate works that aim to challenge, subtly reshape, and inspire self-perception, pride, and possibility across Africa.
We’re patient architects. Every contest, contract, and collaboration lays bricks for a reimagined industry.
How We Serve Artists.
-
We organize a yearly contest worth $2000, in which we select 6 writers to work together under contract on an anthology.
-
We pay artists for their services on the anthology, and we create a pathway for them to earn royalties indefinitely.
-
From startups to seasoned brands to artists, we partner with people who care about doing things right—and doing them well.
-
We organise events, stage plays, film clubs where we can network and discuss groundbreaking ideas.
AID US.
-

A call for assistance.
Since its inception, the AprilCentaur Network has attained funding alone from our founder’s hands. However, we believe it takes more than one hand to build a nation, and invite you to join us in our mission. Aid us, and you would have helped revive the African dream.

![Multiple hands reaching toward each other, forming a circular shape, black and white photograph.]()
Trust our drive.
Contest winners are not left hanging. We pick six promising writers from each yearly shortlist to work together on a joint anthology, which they all benefit from through contracted pay and earned royalties. This is to fulfill our commitment to celebrating worthy names.

For all creatives.
Our focus rests not solely on writers. We are working behind the scenes with filmmakers and have a line of projects almost ready to grace your screens. We’re aiming to build our own network with a treasury of films, art, performance, writing, and nation builders.

Our vision is possible.
Our project will involve animators, comic illustrators, filmmakers, and a plethora of creatives. To create a positive mark in the mindset of Africans, we must bombard our kin with quality shows, books, ideologies in order to solidify the backbone needed for a promising future.
