	n	Established in 2000\, the New Voices Award is given biennially to an unp
	ublished writer of color or Native/Indigenous writer for a picture book ma
	nuscript. \n\n\n\n	Manuscripts may be FICTION\, NON-FICTION\, or POETRY f
	or children ages 5 to 12. Manuscripts should address the needs of children
	 of color or Native/Indigenous children by providing stories with which th
	ey can identify and relate\, and which promote a greater understanding of 
	one another. Themes relating to different family structures\, gender ident
	ity\, LGBTQ+ communities\, or disabilities are also of interest.\n\n\n\n	T
	he submission period for entry will begin on April 1\, 2025 at 12:01 a.m. 
	Eastern Time and will end on June 30\, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time.\n\
	n\n\n	New Voices Award winners receive a standard publication contract\, i
	ncluding Lee &amp\; Low Books’s basic royalties and an advance in the am
	ount of $5\,000.\n\n\n\n	Winners are also given close publishing mentorshi
	p as they work to develop their first book for publication. Nurturing manu
	scripts takes time\, and Lee &amp\; Low’s commitment to this contest rep
	resents over two decades of dedication. We ask for the same commitment and
	 courtesy from applicants. Please make sure you are able to abide by the 
	eligibility and manuscript submission guidelines before entering.\n\n\n\n
