The 2019 contest is now open for submissions.
Postmark Deadline: March 30, 2019
Fall for the Book and the Institute for Immigration Research have created an award to recognize recently published works that illuminate the complexity of human experience as told by immigrants, whose work is historically underrepresented in writing and publishing.
The Contest
The prize will be juried by Reyna Grande, Alia Malek, and E.C. Osondu, who will choose three finalists and then award the prize to one. Finalists will be announced in summer 2019 and all three finalists and the judges will appear at the 2019 Fall for the Book festival, October 10-12 for the second annual presentation and to read from and discuss their work. The winning writer will receive $5,000 and the two finalists each will receive $1,000.

- Entries must be prose: literary fiction or creative non-fiction. Please no journalism, plays, anthologies, or poetry.
