NORTH CAROLINA BOOK AWARDS
For a work to be eligible for consideration for these competitions:
In reaching a decision, members of each panel of judges will consider creative and imaginative quality, excellence of style, universality of appeal, and relevance to North Carolina and her people. For the Old North State Award, the extent to which the author has covered the subject, making use of all available source materials, giving a well-balanced presentation, and accomplishing the purpose the author set out to achieve also will be considered. Technical and scientific works are not eligible. All works will be judged without regard to length. E-mail inquiries accepted at michael.hill@ncmail.net. Deadline for receipt of nominated books each year is July 15. The Christopher Crittenden Memorial Award recognizes significant contributions to the preservation of North Carolina history while the R. Hunt Parker Memorial Award acknowledges literary contributions. At the annual meeting each year the Historical Society of North Carolina presents the R. D. W. Connor Award for the best article to have appeared in the North Carolina Historical Review in the preceding year and the Hugh T. Lefler Award for the best paper by an undergraduate student. The Student Publications Awards are held each year to judge the best literary magazines at the middle and high school level.
