Creative Writing and Academic Writing Competetions in Algeria

Creative Writing & Academic Writing Competitions in Algeria – 2015. Founded by Dr. Nadia Ahouari-Idri, Senior lecturer of Applied Linguistics & Educational Psychology at Bejaia University, this academic event is a double-competition devoted to all users of English in general and to EFL students in particular. It welcomes the submissions of creative writing pieces (i.e., poems, short stories, fable

s, etc) and scientific papers based on the EFL graduate students’ research works (i.e., B.A. Dissertations) and research papers written by novice researchers. Moreover, its ultimate goal is to give the opportunity to the learners to show their talents in writing and encourage them to share their writings with a large audience. At the same time, and during the event, a series of parallel workshops are scheduled and presented by University lecturers. As a reward, and at the end of the competitions, the members of the jury will announce the best pieces of writing and their authors will be awarded the Certificate of the Best Creative / Academic Paper in addition to a symbolic gift consisting of EFL Books Pack and various trainings offered by the the event partners. What they said about the previous edition of the event:
“ … Unsurprisingly, it was a real academic setting where many scholars and students shared their experiences in writing … In a word, that was a Great Success …”
