The Mount Augustan Endowment for the Arts will be distributing two 50 diamond prizes to the winners of our literary contest.

The categories are as follows:

• Fiction
• Nonfiction

The Rules:

• Must be at least 15 pages.
  
• I must end up with a copy to read before the end of the contest.
• The book must be a work released for the first time as part of this contest.
• Judging will occur starting on the first day of May. You have until then to get me a copy of the book.
• I may, or may not, enlist non-participating Augustans to help me read and judge the works.
• The literature generated as part of this event shall be submitted as an original or copy of an original so it can be distributed worldwide following the event.
