Dan Rudy Fiction Award

The Dan Rudy Fiction Prize was established by the family and friends of Dan Rudy (1947-1983), fiction writer and George Mason University M.F.A. candidate. The prize is given for a single short story of 20 double-spaced pages or less. The competition is open to any currently enrolled George Mason student*, graduate or undergraduate; students are limited to one submission.

At the discretion of the judges, an award may be divided between two or more writers, or—if no submission is found to be of sufficient merit—withheld. Winners will be notified by letter. Awards will be announced publicly at the English Department’s Awards Reception.
