Denny Plattner Awards
Kenneth and Elissa May Plattner established the Denny C. Plattner Awards for excellence in writing in honor of their son Denny and his love for writing and the writers. We at Appalachian Heritage appreciate the generosity of the Plattner family, who since 1995 have made possible these awards for the best poems, short stories and non-fiction prose to appear in Southern Appalachia's leading literary magazine. First-place winners in each genre are awarded two hundred dollars. First, second and third-place are presented with personalized, solid cherry bookracks from Berea College Student Crafts.
