As of March 1, 2009, we are now accepting entries for the 2009 Gabehart Prizes,
and the submissions must be postmarked by July 31, 2009. Contest results will be posted here on August 28, 2009.
Each year the Kentucky Women Writers Conference offers opportunities for both emerging and established voices to be singled out and cheered on by our community. The Betty Gabehart Prize honors our good friend, patron, and former director who led the conference during its seminal decade in the 1980s.
Three prizes are awarded, in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Each winner receives $100, two 2-day passes, publication of the winning manuscript on this web site (if desired), and the opportunity to read her winning manuscript at the conference.
Congratulations to our 2008 winners!
