Seventeenth Annual Lambda Literary Awards

The Lambda Literary Awards recognize and honor the best in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender literature. From thousands of nominations received from across the country, five nominees have been selected in each of 20 categories. A panel of 74 judges, chosen to represent the diversity of the LGBT literary community, will determine the final winner from the finalists in each category.

The recipients will be announced and Awards presented at a gala ceremony in New York City on Thursday, June 2, 2005 (on the eve of the BookExpo America Convention). The event will be hosted by the Center for Lesbian Gay Studies at the City University of New York, and will take place at the CUNY Graduate Center, 365 Fifth Avenue.

To ensure accessibility, financial assistance will be available. We encourage you to make a contribution to the scholarship fund so that everyone who wishes to participate may do so.
