The Brittle Paper Persons of the Year 2020 Awards made a callout for your nominations on November 3, 2020.
In 2010, Brittle Paper was started by Nigerian-born US-based academic Ainehi Edoro-Glines as a new voice in an African literary space that was starting to show itself on the world stage.
In 2015, the platform set up the Brittle Paper African Literary Person of the Year awards to celebrate a literary personality who elevates African literary culture in outstanding ways. The winners of the award in previous years have been Nnedi Okorafor (2015), Petina Gappah (2016), Lola Shoneyin (2017), Bibi Bakare-Yusuf (2018), and Ellah Wakatama Allfrey (2019).

- Digital Literary Platform of the Year
