PEN Writing Awards for Prisoners 568 Broadway New York, NY 10012
PEN American Center sponsors annual writing awards for prisoners.The PEN Prison Writing Committee -- and this contest -- began in the fall of 1972. Our involvement is with integrity of expression as well as literary works. Committee members are volunteers and most have experience teaching in prisons. Because of the volume of mail we receive, we can't correspond with you, provide criticism on an individual basis nor consider work for publication. Anyone incarcerated in a federal, state or county prison, between January 1 and September 1 of each year is eligible to enter. For more information go to http://pdr.autono.net or http://www.pen.org
