Literary nominations sought for Cades Awards

The Cades Foundation and the Hawai'i Literary Arts Council are accepting nominations for the 2008 Elliot Cades Awards for Literature.

The awards, given annually since 1988, were established by Charlotte and J. Russell Cades in memory of his brother, Elliot, a teacher and literature lover.

They honor two Hawaii-based writers each year—one an established artist with a substantial body of work; the other an emerging artist who shows promise. Nominees may be poets, playwrights, novelists, essayists or others associated with the literary arts.

Nominations, including a letter of nomination and supporting material, including published work, must be received by Dec. 15. Send documents to Elliot Cades Award for Literature, Hawai'i Literary Arts Council, P.O. Box 11213, Honolulu 96828-0213.
