Campus Writing Challenge: How to Vote for Your Favourite Stories

Campus Writing Challenge: How to Vote for Your Favourite Stories

Martha Kings

November 18, 2018 By Martha Kings 9 Comments

Karanta Cikin Hausa - Read in English

From almost 2,000 entries received, the list of the top 150 stories is out. Visit Union Bank’s website, to vote for your favourite stories.

Quick things to note before you vote:

  • Only the top 150 entries qualify for voting
  • You need to create an OkadaBooks account
  • You need to verify your phone number
  • You can vote for many entries, but you can only vote once on one entry
  • You need to download the entry

Voting ends on the 29th of November, 11:59pm

Now that we’ve cleared that up, let’s begin:

– Open the story you’d like to v0te for and click on “Start Reading“.

– Selecting “Start Reading” adds the book to your library and that makes you eligible. Click on “V0te” at the top right-hand corner

– Congratulations, you have voted! Repeat the same process for your other favourite entries

If you do not want to use the website, download the new android app. If you have the old app, you’ll need to update it.

Note that the most voted entry gets N50,000 cash only.

The book cover voting will be hosted on Union Bank’s Instagram page much later. Follow them

      It’s an android app, so you need a phone.
      You can vote with your laptop.

      An android app will not work on your laptop.
      Search for your book on the website or use the link in the blog post to locate your story. You will be able to see your number of votes there
