The
Hamilton Literary Awards are an annual literary event with the goal of
recognizing and celebrating the best of our city’s published authors.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Literary Awards celebrating
the achievements of local literary figures.
Starting this year,
Awards will be presented to books of outstanding merit and quality in a
