Comments from the Judges

“These stories get to the heart of the issues, through colorfully woven tales done with a front-row seat to the action. The heartbreak is clear. So is the impact.”

“Beautiful writing. Full of heart. Amazing storytelling. Fits so much information, elegantly, into a small space. Stories that need to be told.”
