Congratulations to the winners of the 2024 Annual Writing Contest!
Over 400 entries were received this year across 25 categories including cover art, interior art, and prose and poetry. Judges worked hard to determine place standings and honorable mentions and they’re happy to share the winners names below.
This year the SWW judging team was enhanced by the participation of two genre specific writer’s organizations. Our Children’s and young adult categories were judged by members of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI). The Free Verse, Limerick, and Haiku categories were adjudicated through the New Mexico State Poetry Society (NMSPS). We wish to thank our sister writing groups for their assistance!
Listed below are the winners of this year’s contest. Their beautiful pieces are captured in the SWW anthology: Mosaic Voices, which is available on Amazon.
