Wadadli Pen – a registered non-profit committed to nurturing and showcasing the literary arts in Antigua and Barbuda – would not be what it is nor accomplished what it has to date without our patrons/donors. If you would like to contribute, contact us at wadadlipen@gmail.com.
This page lists patrons/donors through the years, beginning in 2004 when we launched (to 2022, at this writing). It includes those who’ve contributed prizes, subsidized advertising and other productions, or made other cash or in-kind contribution. Thanks to any business or individual (some regrettably no longer with us) that has ever contributed to this project . Please forgive and correct any errors. Search ‘who won’ for prize breakdowns by year.
