Only dues-paying members of the USBWA are eligible to enter the writing contest. Members may enter more than one category but may submit only one entry per category.

Plaques and cash prizes will be awarded in each category. Winners will be announced in the fall issue of The Tipoff and posted on the USBWA website.
