manuscript winners do not merely receive the rights to promote our award, occurring costs
themselves, and receiving little of value. Our objective is to find quality works that need
assistance toward publication.


Award Recipients:

NOTY will select from one to three award recipients each publication year:
no more than two Finalists and one Winner. All recipients will receive the
following prizes:
