| Whiting Writers Awards | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
The MRS. GILES WHITING FOUNDATION is dedicated to the support of the humanities and of creative writing. Since 1985, the Foundation has supported creative writing through the Whiting Writers Awards which are given annually to ten emerging writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry and plays. The awards are based on accomplishment and promise. Candidates are proposed by nominators from across the country whose experience and vocations bring them in contact with individuals of extraordinary talent. Winners are chosen by a selection committee, a small group of recognized writers, literary scholars, and editors, appointed annually by the Foundation. Both nominators and selectors serve anonymously. The Foundation does not accept applications to the Writers' Program. The Whiting Writers’ Awards are intended for emerging writers. We hope to identify exceptional new writers who have yet to make their mark in the literary culture. The award is highly competitive. Up to ten awards will be made from approximately 90 to 100 nominations. Nominators are literary professionals across the country representing all literary genres who are likely to know about emerging writers at the beginning of promising careers. The majority are writers, often teachers as well, and the list has included editors, agents, critics, bookstore owners, reading series organizers, dramaturgs, and artistic directors of theaters. Nominators are contacted by the foundation and are each asked to nominate one emerging writer of exceptional talent and promise. The roster of nominators changes annually, although some nominators have served more than once. send: Complete MS looking for: Any specifically: Literary |

| George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism | Updated November 17th, 2008 |
|
With his preamble "it is my object and desire to encourage and assist in developing the art of drama criticism and the stimulation of intelligent playgoing," the late George Jean Nathan provided in his will for a prize known as the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism. The prize consists of the annual net income of half of Mr. Nathan's estate, which "shall be paid to the American who has written the best piece of drama criticism during the theatrical year (July 1 to June 30), whether it is an article, an essay, treatise or book." The trust is of such size that the prize is the richest and one of the most distinguished in the American theater. The annual award now amounts to $10,000. In addition, the winner receives a trophy symbolic of, and attesting to, the award. Mr. Nathan directed in his will that the prize is “to be awarded annually by a majority vote of the then heads of the English departments of Cornell, Princeton, and Yale Universities.” This committee of three has functioned since the award was established. The chair of the English department of Cornell University heads the selection committee. Those eligible for the award are authors, critics, or reviewers who are citizens or permanent residents of the United States and whose works are published in books, newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals, or in electronic form, or broadcast on television or radio programs. Except for books, all entries for the prize must have been published in the United States. In view of Mr. Nathan’s interest in the current theatre, the selection committee will regard with special interest writings in dramatic criticism dealing with current or recent productions of the legitimate theatre, but the award may also be given for an outstanding work of criticism dealing with drama of the past. It is the aim of the selection committee to foster the spirit of the award by honoring criticism which demonstrates the highest level of critical thinking about theatre. Although the selection committee will make an effort to review publications in which eligible work may appear, any author or publisher may submit eligible entries for the award to the appropriate members of the selection committee whose names and addresses are listed below, up to and including September 1, 2008.* Newspaper and magazine submissions should comprise no more than a dozen articles and include the date and (if appropriate) the name of the publication where the entries appeared. All materials submitted for the 2007-2008 prize must have been published between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Send Newspapers, TV, Radio Reviews, and Electronic Publication entries through this market. Submit Books OR Periodical entries through the two other WordHustler listings.
