Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers


The Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers™ was established by novelist Marita Golden. This award honors excellence in fiction writing by students of African descent enrolled full-time as undergraduate or graduate students in any college or university in the United States. It is given for the best previously unpublished short story or novel excerpt and is presented during an annual program where published writers welcome the honorees into the national literary community. Submissions must be received by January 14, 2011.

The Hurston/Wright Foundation is named after writers Zora Neale Hurston and Richard Wright.
