Winners of this year's Philippine Graphic-Nick Joaquin Literary Awards were published in the July 6, 2009 issue of the said magazine. Literary editor Marra PL. Lanot headed the Board of Judges, which was also composed of award-winning fictionists Luis Katigbak and Susan Lara. Awarding rites were held last June 25 at the Manila Grand Opera Hotel in Santa Cruz, Manila.
The winners are:
First Prize: Rosario Cruz Lucero, for Papa's Field.
Second Prize: Erwin E. Castillo, for Cape Engaño.
Third Prize: Sasha Martinez (published as Fe P. Koons), for This Fleet of Shadows.
This is the second time Lucero won first prize in this particular contest. I loved her stories since owning a copy of her National Book Award-winning Feast and Famine: Stories of Negros, and had an ultimately rewarding time learning from her in the fiction-writing class I took several semesters ago. I find it so amazing that every time she wins in a literary competition, it's always first place. Kainis, ang galing.
Congratulations to Ma'am Chari and the rest of the winners!
