All entries are in and judges are making their first round eliminations of the emailed entries now that they’ve finished their first round eliminations of the USPS entries.

Only 5 finalists in each category will move on to our guest judges, who will choose winners in each category. This year, we’re honored to have 3 literary agents from Inklings Literary judging as well as our astronaut, Bill Oefelein, and Alaska author of historical teen novels, Lynn Lovegreen.
