Thanks to tremendous support from friends, advocates, and fellow writers, we are privileged to announce the 6th $50,000 Gift of Freedom award:  stronger, more prestigious, and of greater benefit to even more women. 
The 6th $50,000 Gift of Freedom competition will determine finalists from each genre (creative nonfiction, fiction, playwrighting, & poetry).  One genre finalist will be awarded the $50,000 Gift of Freedom grant. The three remaining genre finalists will each be awarded a $5000 prize and eligibility to attend a future AROHO Retreat for Women Writers benefitted by a Gift of Freedom Legacy Fellowship.
