Kenneth and Elissa May Plattner established the Denny C. Plattner Awards in 1995 to honor their late son, Denny, and his love for writing. First place winners each receive $200.00, and all winners in each category receive a bookrack from Berea College Crafts with a personalized plaque commemorating their achievement. This year Andrew Plattner, brother of the late Denny C. Plattner, judged the award. Thanks to the Plattner family and congratulations to those honored.
