Freelance Writer

D-Prize is looking for a freelance writer for a short-term project to write a new document as part of our competition materials. This is a remote contract (sometime in August), and will be compensated at $1,000 USD for what we think will be two weeks of work, including editing based on feedback from D-Prize.

About the Project
Our challenge documents outline the critical problems we want applicants to solve, and they’re key to attracting bold, capable entrepreneurs from around the world, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This year, we’re introducing a new challenge. Your role: make the description clear, compelling, and accessible to a global audience.

Here is an example of an existing challenge document, which has a more academic tone. We are hoping you can deliver a tone that will appeal more to our applicants.

What You’ll Do

• Write a compelling ~1,000–1,500 challenge document based on research we will provide
• Improve clarity, tone, and accessibility for our target audience
• Incorporate team feedback from D-Prize staff and edit
• Deliver final copy in Google Docs by the end of the project

What We're Looking For

• Top quality writer with a clear, engaging tone
• Ability to work quickly and take feedback
• Familiarity with D-Prize's mission is a plus
• Experience in social impact a major plus
