BOOKS/FICTION/VERSE
Categories 72 through 78
Books, novels, short stories and poems must have been
published during the contest year. A book either must
be a first edition or, if a later edition (not a reprint),
must not have been submitted previously in this competition.
Entries in this division are judged on the principles of
writing for that category. In general, entries are judged
on quality of writing, organization of thought, expression
of ideas and originality.
Note: The year of publication (not the copyright date)
governs eligibility. If the year of the copyright date
(issued when an ISBN number is assigned) printed inside the
book is not the year of publication, please furnish documentation
from the publisher verifying the publication date.
