The Midland Authors is now accepting submissions for its annual literary awards, which will honor books by Midwestern authors published in 2021.
Three judges on each committee will select one winner that is best in that category. Category winners receive $500 and a recognition award. Judges may also deem up to three honorees as worthy of recognition. Each honoree will receive a commemorative award. All honors are given out at the awards banquet in May 2022 or a substitute ceremony, if necessary, and if allowed by pandemic mandates.
