Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Awards Program (Deadline Dec. 31)

The SFWP Literary Awards Program is back and better than ever with Pulitzer Prize winning author Robert Olen Butler on board as judge.

Featuring the largest cash prizes in the history of our program, the winner and two runners-up will receive:

1st prize: $2,500
2nd prize: $1,500
3rd prize: $1,000

The Program has begun and will run through December 31st, 2007. Any entries post-marked later than December 31st will not be accepted. Review and judging will begin on January 15th 2008.

The program is open to all authors except for those previously published by a major house (Random House, Viking, etc. See the FAQ for further details.). Your entry will be reviewed by our staff for eligibility and you will be contacted and refunded if you are not eligible. Due to the length of the awards program, we do allow authors to shop their work around.

Remember: All entries must be accompanied by a $30 reading fee ($25 for students). Send your entry and fee to:

Santa Fe Writers Project
#350
369 Montezuma Ave
Santa Fe, NM 87501

SFWP’s program began in 2000 and has been judged by National Book Critics Circle Award-winner Jayne Anne Phillips, two-time NEA fellow and Hemingway Award finalist Richard Currey, Granta "best novelist under 40" and Guggenheim fellow Chris Offutt, and popular essayist Ayun Halliday.
