The Southern Review Awards in Literature celebrate the best work to appear in our pages each year. Each award is accompanied by a cash prize of $1500, funded by endowed gifts through the LSU Foundation. The prizes will be announced in the pages of The Southern Review, and the authors brought to the campus of LSU as honorees at an annual banquet and awards ceremony.

This trio of awards will, we are confident, not only bring attention to the journal and its endeavors to publish the best work being produced today, but will also celebrate annually those for whom the prizes are named.

The Robert Penn Warren Prize in Poetry
