The staff of RiverCraft would like to thank this year’s judge, our very own “founding father,” Dr. Gary Fincke. We’re grateful to him not only for the program he’s given us, but for taking the time and consideration to select this year’s winner and runners-up.

You can find our winners and their work in the physical copy of our magazine, located in the Writer’s Institute.
