MWSA's annual Awards Season submission window runs from January 15th to June 15th each year.  During that time, MWSA accepts books for review and award consideration. After all books have been read and evaluated by its volunteer reviewers, those with the highest scores are recognized as "MWSA Awards Finalists."  Being designated as an Finalist indicates that the author will be awarded either a Gold, Silver, or Bronze medal.

Next month (on the 7th through the 10th of September), MWSA will host its annual General Membership Conference in San Antonio, Texas.  The event will be capped off on Saturday evening (the 9th) with an awards banquet, where individual medal awards for the 2017 awards season will be announced.

Congratulations to our 2017 Finalists!
