I was aware that the Burt Award for African literature 2009 was going to be officially announced on 4 August here in Accra, at the Ghana Book Trust, but didn’t go to the function.
However, this morning, I see that Nana Fredua-Agyeman at ImageNations has already blogged about it.
Once again, nothing in the news part of the main state-owned press so far, but Ghanaian Times did have two adverts related to the award in the 5 August edition. One was an invitation to publishers to tender, but the other was actually more in the form of a press release. There is a copy of the “Announcement of winners” on the GLA website.
If I find more stories on the web related to these awards, I will put up the links.
