EGBERT-RODDEN WRITING AWARDS

Our grandparents HH & Jane Egbert and Dan I & Naomi Rodden were not people you would have heard of before. On the surface of things, they lived everyday American lives. But they also all took great risks in their own ways to make a better world for themselves, their families, and their country. We wanted to honor their memory in a small way by giving some encouragement in the writing arts, something all our grandparents cared for deeply.

Awards Categories

The Egbert-Rodden Writing Awards focus on four types of writing to honor the lives of each of our grandparents. The awards match their lives and their interests.
