The Society of Southwestern Authors is sending out its annual call to all writers interested in entering its national writing contest. Cash prizes will be awarded for short stories, poetry, personal essay/memoirs, and short stories for children ages 6 – 12. The winning stories also are published in the Society’s annual publication.

The children’s short story category, new this year, honors the memory of Michael Lacapa, the nationally recognized Apache/Hopi/Tewa Native American Storyteller and well-known writer and illustrator of children’s books, who died on March 15, 2005.
