Maine Literary Awards



The Maine Literary Awards take place every year in spring to honor the writing of Mainers from the previous year, with nominations open to all residents. The awards recognize published works, drama, short works, and student writing across various categories and offer a chance to celebrate the best of Maine writing while often bringing lesser known creators to light. The annual competition is held by the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. Are you a writer? You can even self-nominate, so let that idea inspire you as you take pen to paper!
