American award presented annually to emerging writers
The Whiting Award is an American award presented annually to ten emerging writers in fiction , nonfiction , poetry and drama . The award is sponsored by the Mrs. Giles Whiting Foundation and has been presented since 1985. As of 2021[update] , winners receive US$50,000.[ 1] [ 2]
The nominees are chosen through a juried process, and the final winners are selected by a committee of writers, scholars, and editors, selected each year by the Foundation. Writers cannot apply for the prize themselves, and the Foundation does not accept unsolicited nominations.[ 3]
