San Francisco Foundation Literary Awards

January 31st, 2006 by Michelle

Three prizes of $2,000 each are given annually to writers between 20 and 35 years of age for works-in-progress. The Joseph Henry Jackson Award is given for a work of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction. Applicants must be residents of northern California or Nevada for at least three consecutive years prior to the deadline. The Mary Tanenbaum Award has the same residency requirements as the Jackson Award, but is awarded only for a work of creative nonfiction. The James D. Phelan Award is given for a work of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction by a native of California. For all awards, which are sponsored by the San Francisco Foundation and administered by Intersection for the Arts, submit manuscripts of no more than 50 pages by March 31. There is no entry fee. Send an SASE for the required application and complete guidelines.

    When I get rich and famous, I’m establishing the Late Bloomer Award.

    Tell me about it. I just realized that by the time this award rolls around next year, I’ll be too old to apply!

    Radcliffe is a writer’s colony that has fellowships for women over fifty. Yay!

    If you let fear of consequence prevent you from following your deepest instinct, then your life will be safe, expedient and thin.
