The Marilyn Brown Novel Award

The Marilyn Brown Novel Award (MBNA) awards a cash prize of $1000 to the author of the best unpublished novel submitted to the award committee. The MBNA judges award the prize every two years, on even numbered years (2002, 2004, 2006, etc.) at the annual meeting of the Association for Mormon Letters, usually held in March.
