They've announced that Poet Alexander Vidiani Takes the Prize ! -- the US$62,900 (this year) Sophie Kerr Prize for literary promise, awarded to a student at Washington College.
It's not just the largest US student literary prize, the prize money dwarfs that given for many of the major American literary prizes: it's more than an author would take home for sweeping the Pulitzer, National Book Award, and National Book Critics Circles award.
