Awards - Issue 1
In 2007, Stone Canoe journal
established a series of annual awards for the best submissions in several
categories: visual arts, short fiction, poetry, and nonfiction.
These awards will consist of $500 and a replica of the original alabaster stone canoe sculpture by noted stone sculptor Tom Huff, seen here with two of his alabaster carvings.
The Fawcett Prize for Visual Arts is awarded annually to a series of three works of art in any medium by an Upstate New York artist who has not yet had a solo show in, or have been represented by, a major gallery.
The Bea González Prize for Poetry is awarded annually to a series of three poems by an Upstate New York poet who has not yet published a book of poetry with a nationally distributed press.
The Allen and Nirelle Galson Prize for Fiction is awarded annually to a short story by an Upstate New York writer who has not yet published a book of fiction with a nationally distributed press.
The annual prize winners are chosen by the editors from among the submissions for each issue of Stone Canoe. No additional fee or application is required for eligibility, though a minimum of three poems or works of visual art must be submitted to be considered for the prize in these categories.
