Details for
2011 Literary Contests
Distinguished
judges have been named for TIL’s 2011 literary contests. They will select
finalists and winners for the best works of the year in thirteen categories.
The judges will
award writers a total of more than $20,000 at TIL’s annual banquet to be held
this year in the spring of 2012 in San Antonio.
Submissions of works published in
the calendar year of 2011 must be sent to each member of the appropriate
committees at the addresses listed below. They must be postmarked no later than
January 9, 2012. A person or publisher may enter only one work per contest
category. All works entered must be published in a print format: Unpublished
manuscripts and online publications are not considered. To be considered, an
entry must be the first published version of the work. The container of each
entry must bear the words, “For TIL Award,” and inside must be the name,
address, telephone number, and e-mail address of the entrant. Also included
must be a statement of eligibility confirming that the entrant was born in
Texas or lived in Texas for at least two consecutive years at some time. A work
whose subject matter substantially concerns Texas is also eligible. Materials
submitted for entry will not be returned.
Winners are
expected to attend the TIL awards banquet to be held in San Antonio in April
2012.
