Inducting New Members Into the Hall of Fame

The Colorado Authors Hall of Fame depends on members of the public to nominate extraordinary authors for induction. Nominations are accepted from organizations or individuals throughout the state. A diverse group of Colorado citizens, including literary professionals, is recruited to act as a Selection Committee. The Selection Committee reviews all nominations, performs additional research if necessary, and selects nominees for induction into the Colorado Authors' Hall of Fame.

In odd-numbered years, up to 12 new inductees are admitted into the Hall of Fame at an event attended and sponsored by people and organizations from across Colorado.

Do you know of an extraordinary AUTHOR who meets these criteria? If so, please read how to nominate him/her for induction into the Colorado Authors Hall of Fame.
