Submissions for the North Carolina Humanities Council’s Linda Flowers Literary Award will be accepted ONLY electrically from March 10 – June 16 at nchc@nchumanities.org.

Entries must be original, unpublished works of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry that offer an intimate, provocative, and inspiring portraiture of North Carolina, its people and cultures, bringing to light real men and women making their way in the face of change, loss, triumph, and disappointments.

While authors do not have to be North Carolinians, entries must be deeply engaged with some aspect of North Carolina, drawing on particular North Carolina connections and/or memories, and profoundly celebrate excellence in the humanities.
