Interested in Participating?
Pa Gya! invites submissions from organizations, groups or persons interested in participating in this year’s festival. In previous editions many events and guests hosted at the festival have been realized from a call for proposals. The festival welcomes ideas, concepts and projects within the literary and cultural scenes in Ghana and beyond.
We are especially open to proposals that explore collaborations and for events and authors at this year’s festival. They must focus on or have some relation to literary output such as writing, books, performance, etc., or activities such as workshops, book clubs, or related projects.

Interested persons, organizations and groups who wish to present or stage an event may email pagyafestival@gmail.com with the subject PROPOSAL FOR PAGYA 2024. Proposals will be received until Friday, 19th July 2024. The festival is also open for collaborations and support and can be reached via the same email.
