    Eligibility Checks
    I understand that only traditionally published works attaining the minimum money-earned requirements by authors who meet MWA's active status membership qualifications are eligible for Edgar Award consideration.
    I confirm that this work meets the guidelines for active status membership.

    To ensure originality and authenticity, we require all writers and publishers submitting work to verify that the substantive content of their submission is free of AI-generated material. While AI-assistive tools may be used in supportive roles -- such as for copy editing, grammar checking, or formatting improvements -- core elements of the submission, including narrative, thematic development, and stylistic choices, should reflect the author’s unique voice and creative work. By submitting, you confirm that AI tools have only been used in a limited, assistive capacity and that the work remains an authentic representation of the author’s creative intent and voice.
    I confirm that the submitted work is free of AI-generated material.

    Mail works to each committee member for the appropriate category. Do NOT include reviews or other promotional materials along with your entry. Do NOT contact the judges regarding this or any other submission (beyond sending the books). Contacting the judges directly might make this submission ineligible for consideration. Contact us for a list of committee members and mailing addresses.

    Questions should be directed to the General Awards Chair using our contact form.
