Rules:
1. The theme of the contest is "home".
2. Submit an original poem that is at least half in English.
3. Video submissions should be no more than 2 minutes long.
4. You can enter the competition from anywhere in Africa but you will cover your costs should you be chosen. That means if you want to participate, you have to get to Lagos on your own.
5. The video must be recorded specifically for the competition. One camera; one poet. No live performance videos. No special effects.
6. Before you begin your video, state your name and where you're from. Please include that info as well as an email address in the information box of YOUR video.

8. Share with your friends and get them to 'like' your video for a chance to be picked as the audience favourite.
9. Make sure you follow Bassey Ikpi on Twitter and like her Facebook fanpage for updates to the contest.
