"The Lyndon Institute Kingdom Awards in Literature was founded in 1993 by former Lyndon Institute English Chair Burt Porter as a supplement to the University of Vermont's Vermont Honors Competition in Writing, which emphasizes academic essays. The Kingdom Awards offers Vermont high school students and English teachers the opportunity to focus on literary composition. In each the Student and Teachers of English Divisions awards are given in three categories - poetry, short fiction, and personal essay. The contest is judged by well-known Vermont writers who have made a commitment to fostering creative writing in the state through this program. Over the years such renowned writers as Galway Kinnell, Grace Paley, and Howard Norman have served as judges. Our current panel includes Ellen Bryant Voigt, Howard Frank Mosher, Gale Lawrence, Leland Kinsey, Craig Nova, and Garret Keizer. It is our hope that the Kingdom Awards will not only offer distinction to Vermont's students and teachers, but also cultivate a love for literature and a passion for a lifetime of writing."
