Since 2014, The Prowda Literary Champion Award, selected by a group of literary visionaries, has celebrated the individuals and organizations that make Seattle an outstanding place for writers and readers.
The Prowda Literary Champion Award is named for Sherry Prowda, SAL’s founder and first Executive Director. It was created to honor Prowda’s vision of a future in which imaginative acts such as reading, writing, and creative thinking are indispensable to a curious, engaged, democratic society, and her leadership as a champion of the literary arts.
