Writers of color should submit manuscripts that address the needs of children of color by providing stories with which they can identify and relate, and which promote a greater understanding of one another.
This can be a work of FICTION, NONFICTION, or POETRY for children ages 5 to 12. Folklore and animal stories will not be considered. Manuscripts should be no more than 1500 words in length and accompanied by a cover letter that includes the author’s name, address, phone number, email address, brief biographical note, relevant cultural and ethnic information, how the author heard about the award, and publication history, if any.
