Electronic Literature Organization

There are two awards, one for poetry and the other for fiction. The winner in each category will receive $10,000 (American). Entries in both categories will be juried with the following criteria:

Innovative use of electronic techniques and enhancements.
Literary quality, understood as being related to print and electronic traditions of fiction and poetry, respectively.
Quality and accessibility of interface design.
Collections will be accepted if they are intended to be read holistically as a single work.
