2025 lETTERS jUROR cOMMENTS

Suzanne Hess, English Professor, Florida State College of Jacksonville

There were over forty submissions in nine categories, and each work was a unique read. After several weeks of reading and reviewing, the final decisions were based on my notes regarding originality, technical skill, and resolution, among other factors.


Choosing only nine to be recognized was certainly challenging. Congratulations to you all, and particularly to those selected to receive recognition for their work.
