YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION

There is absolutely no obligation to purchase an award-book. However, these award-books tend to sell out within the first several weeks of publication. So, to receive a book you must act fast!

Prize winners will be featured in the award-book and posted on this website by the end of April, 2012. No purchase is necessary to qualify

for a prize.

Award-Winning Young Writers of America - 2012 is copyrighted as

an anthology so each author will always retain full copyright of their

time and are not for sale to the general public or in bookstores.

This is an educator-run contest that sponsors national disadvantaged

youth programs such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
