A panel of local authors will judge all submissions. There are a slew of wonderful donated prizes to win from the Palace Theater, Paradise Bowling, Jimmy's Paradise Café, The Big Store, Radio Shack, Audio on Demand, San Juan Taxi, Downriggers, and the Friends of the Library. We are extremely thankful to all the businesses that donated prizes to the contest said Elder, It wouldn't have been possible without them."
