Hey Elsians,

I am so sorry I had to be away for about 2weeks. It was in no way my fault neither was it intentional. If you are connected to any of my personal social media platforms or the blog’s, you may or may have not seen why. The blog was hacked (still being hacked) and about 5.4million virus were uploaded to the host from my blog. It’s been hectic and sad but I am glad to be back…at least to kick off the 3^rd edition of the yearly Valentine contest. Special shout out to Obinna, William & Andy.

Though I was not able to share post on the Love Literati Contest here on the blog, we have over 80 entries already and submission closed on the 10^th of February 2017. But because this is our haven, and the contest is being hosted here on the blog, it is only fair to extend the date for devoted readers of this blog. Every entry sent after 10^th of February will not be attended to but you have the opportunity to send yours between now (2:00pm 12^th of February) to 11:59pm 13^th of February. Make sure the title of your email is – “I am a devoted Elsian” or it will be discarded. So start sending.

I also mentioned at the end of the contest last year that there will be ways to judge the entries other than choosing winners by the number of likes and comments. And this is why I have reached out to awesome Authors and Editors to help determine the winners.

We have Sally Kenneth Dadzie, Walter Ude, Deoye Falade and Chinonye Chidolue and I am excited to have them on this project.

Thanks to the team at Ebony and Indigo and the CEO of Dhoney beadz for being part of our sponsors. This year’s contest will reward 5 winners with cash and gift items.

Thank you all so much for the emails and messages. I also missed being here. Lets set the ball rolling!
