The William Faulkner Literary Contest
Thanks to the generous donation of former Union County resident Eric Saul, now living in Tennessee, our contest includes the categories of Novel, One Act Play, Poetry, Adult Short Story, and Student Short Story. The inclusion of New Albany on the Southern Literary Trail, thanks to William Faulkner and Borden Deal, shows that there is a growing awareness of the literary history and potential of this area.
Mr. Saul’s donation is added to that of the New Albany Gazette, which has strongly supported this event in the past, the Union County Heritage Museum, Holiday Inn Express, and several local literary and educational groups including Friends of the Jennie Stephens Smith Library, New Century Club, Junta Club, Pilot Club, Retired Teachers, Sigma Chapter of Kappa Kappa Iota, and the Tallahatchie Arts Council. We have also been supported by a City of New Albany Tourism grant and a New Albany Rotary Club grant.
