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.
