CAMEROON COUNTRY CULTURE CONTEST(CHALLENGE)@njiatanga country representative

Because Cameroon is home to a large number of rather distinct ethnic groups, the country has developed a diverse, but rich culture. Each group celebrates its own contributions through festivals, literature and handicrafts.

Oral literature is a huge tradition, not only in Cameroon, but throughout the African continent. The passing down of stories and folklore is considered an important way of keeping the culture alive from generation to generation. The Fulani in particular are most well-known for their proverbs, riddles, poetry, history, and legends. In the Southern regions of Cameroon, the Ewondo and Douala are noted for their contributions to Cameroonian literature.

Traditional crafts are also a big part of Cameroonian culture. Whether its pottery, sculptures and textiles which are used in everyday households or elaborate woven clothing or bronze sculptures for ceremonies, these creations are far more valuable than just marketplace souvenirs.
