THE GOLDEN CLADDAGH

Additionally, all first-place finalists will also have a chance to win the Gold Claddagh, which will be the first-place overall contest winner. That category will be judged by Kevan Lyon (of Marsal-Lyon Literary Agency) and Liz Pelletier (of Entangled Publishing), and the final winner will receive a Gold Claddagh pin, as well as additional consideration by the two judges.
