The 2016 deadline is May 1. Winners will be formally presented at the annual meeting of the Society, Faulkner for All, during Words & Music, A Literary Feast in New Orleans, taking place this year November 9-13, 2016.
A list of manuscripts which have been designated finalists and semi-finalists will be posted on the website on or about August 1, 2016. Winners will be notified on September 25th, William Faulkner’s birthday, leaving plenty of time for winners to make plans to be present to receive their awards.
