Congratulations to Kedon Willis, who has won the Virginia Tech Fiction Prize for his short story “Sat’day.” Mark Derks and Sandra M. Yee placed, respectively, as first and second runners-up.
Kedon’s story will earn him a small cash award, and Virginia Tech will also nominate his story for the 2012 Intro Journals Project, an annual competition from the Associated Writing Programs. Eventual winners of the Intro competition will receive an award letter, publication, and a $100 honorarium.
The judge for this year's competition was John Dufresne (who visits Virginia Tech next spring for a reading). All stories entered in the competition were submitted to him in standard format, without any information to identify the author.
Congratulations again to Kedon. We know you’ll do a great job representing Tech!
