This annual literary award is designed to support and recognize emerging African American fiction writers. Established to honor the legacy of a late author whose stories highlighted African Americans in rural settings, the program aims to help rising novelists continue developing their creative craft. A national panel of literary judges reviews eligible submissions to select a single winner each year. The recipient is also celebrated at an annual award ceremony hosted in Baton Rouge.

Facts on this page come from the official page and the provider's website. The description is written by CollegesRef. Providers can change amounts and dates; the official page always wins.
Every listing links to the provider's official page. Before it goes live, its amount and dates must appear on that page, the link must work and it must pass our scam checks; anything that fails a check waits for an editor. We re-check links every week. Listings not re-verified within six months leave our search until they are.
