There are many talented young writers in Nebraska,” said Dr. Patricia Oman, associate professor of English, director of the Hastings College Press and chair of the Department of Languages and Literatures. “The quality of work also shows in the awards, as we had more award recipients this year, and more Gold Key works, as well. We’re looking forward to recognizing the award recipients.”

Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable Mention works will also be available in a publication from Hastings College Press, “Best Nebraska Teen Writing 2022.”
