About us

Yemipoet Creation is the registered name for Yemipoet contest, a creative platform that organizes contests, promotes emerging talents, and envisions a future in publishing.

Yemipoet fosters creativity and connection among poets in Nigeria. Through monthly themed competitions, each drawing over 200 entries from poets. These themes often align with cultural, spiritual, and real-life issues, as well as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including gender equality, zero hunger, climate action, and social justice. The top three winners are awarded cash prizes, cultivating a competitive yet supportive community.

More than a platform, the Yemipoet Contest has given birth to the Yacso Foundation, a nonprofit organization that oversees the Yemipoet Contest. The Yacso Foundation champions school/community outreaches to foster self-expression and mental health, teaching poetry and storytelling, and inspiring social change. At its heart lies the Yemigoldentouch Initiative, our partner NGO dedicated to creating real-world impact through targeted outreach aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 4, specifically Zero Hunger and Quality Education.

Whether you’re here to read, perform, or create change, I welcome you into my world of rhythm and responsibility.

YEMIPOET AFRI-CREATIVES SOCIAL FOUNDATION (YACSO FOUNDATION)

To empower African youth and children to heal, express, and transform their communities and the world through poetry and creativity.
