Each year, the Stadler Center for Poetry & Literary Arts sponsors two prizes that recognize undergraduate students for their talent and/or commitment to creative literature.
The Cadigan Prize for Young Writers is awarded to those who demonstrate excellence in poetry and prose; it is judged each year by contributors to West Branch, Bucknell's professional literary journal. First and second place prizes, as well as honorable mentions, are awarded in each of two genres: prose, which includes both fiction and creative nonfiction, and poetry. The awards are made possible by the generous support of Robb Cadigan '86 and Joan Daughen Cadigan '86.
This year's winners are: Gary Eberly (first place), Hailey Robinson (second place), and Anna DeNelsky (honorable mention) for poetry; Paige Caine (first place), Melissa Tjong (second place), and Alexander Busato (honorable mention) for prose.
The Julia Fonville Smithson Memorial Prize is awarded annually to students whose dedication to the sharing and the making of literary carries into the future the spirit of Julia Smithson.
This year's winners are: Andrei Bucaloiu and Nicole Yeager.
