Stephanos Papadopoulos wins Ballard Writer's Prize

Congratulations are in order for Stephanos Papadopoulous (CRF 2010), who was recently announced as the 2014 recipient of the Jeannette Haien Ballard Writer's Prize.

This prize is given each year to a young writer of proven excellence in poetry or prose and includes a $25,000 award to support the continued production of high quality literary works.  It was established in honor of author Jeanette Haien Ballard and seeks to continue her legacy of encouraging the development of talented young writers.


Incidentally, Stephanos is not the first Civitella Fellow to receive this prestigious prize; Joanna Klink (CRF 2012) was the 2012 awardee.


Congratulations, Stephanos!  We look forward to reading the beautiful poetry that results from this award.
