2011 Edgar Allan Poe Awards Entry Forms (for works published in 2010) Please read submission information for complete information. Entry Procedure and Forms With the exception of the Robert L. Fish and Mary Higgins Clark awards, a work can be submitted to only one Edgar® committee. It is the responsibility of the publisher or producer to submit works to the appropriate committee. One copy of each eligible work must be sent to each member of the proper committee along with a copy of the submission form. In addition, only the submission form is sent to the MWA National Office. Contact the MWA National Headquarters for a list of the judges' names and addresses: use our interactive response form or call 212-888-8171. Do NOT include reviews or other promotional materials along with your entry. Do NOT contact the judges regarding this or any other submission (beyond sending the books). Contacting the judges directly might make this submission ineligible for consideration. Send the entry form (links to online forms below) to: MWA National Office 1140 Broadway, Suite 1507 New York NY 10001 A completed entry form is required for submission.

Deadlines We suggest that work be submitted on the following schedule to assist the judging committee. Meeting these deadlines is not a requirement for eligibility; however, it will greatly aid the judging process. We prefer that books be submitted on a monthly basis so that the judges have enough time to read all the submissions.
- For works published/released January 1 - March 31: Submit by March 31, 2010
- For works published/released April 1 - June 30: Submit by June 30, 2010
- For works published/released July 1 - September 30: Submit by September 30, 2010
- For works published/released October 1-December 30: Submit by November 30, 2010
- Books with a December publication date may be submitted in galleys.
Please Note: No work will be accepted after November 30, 2010. (This does not apply to works available only in December, such as television shows. All books must be submitted by November 30, 2010) Nominations are usually announced in the middle of January (on or near Edgar Allan Poe's birthday) of the following year and the winners are announced at the annual Edgar® Awards Banquet, which takes place in New York City in late April or early May each year.
