Hello Flo and everyone,

The Writing Contest itself a brilliant thing. Although I have nothing against the "free choice team" option, I would go for "country team". Making that Writing Contest exclusive to the country teams (eg.Ghana, Algeria, or Côte d'Ivoire)  might draw new editors towards local country teams.

Happy new year!

"Free choice team" can be "country team". So I have any problem with "free choice team"...

Happy new year Isla and Flo!

Best,

Do we have a panel of judges in mind to vet the scripts?
