Bouchercon 2019—the
50th
world mystery convention, to be held next October 31-November 3 in
Dallas, Texas—will debut a new
Prize named in honor of the late author
Bill Crider.
Called the
Bill Crider Prize for Short Fiction, it will offer a
first-place award of $1000 (plus prizes for second and third place) to
what judges determine are the best original stories—3500 to 5000 words
in length, and submitted anonymously—“relating to Texas… with an
element of mystery or crime.” Deadline for submissions is March 1,
2019.
Bill was a real gentleman.
