Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize

I'm going to take part in this writing competition, and write about my Mannheim stop at 3am in the morning, which I spent with the interesting old German guy who spoke fluent English, drank buttermilk and quoted Sanskrit Buddhist verses from memory.

There does not seem to be any information about whether the competition is held this year or not, which is annoyingly the same problem as with the Shell Economist prize: seems like all the writing competitions are taking a break in the one year when I am actually mentally committed to taking part!
