Eye Awards Ceremony To Be Held Feb. 4 January 11, 2001 -- The public is invited to the Bayly Art Museum’s annual Writer’s Eye Awards ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 4, at 3 p.m. in Campbell Hall, Room153 at the University of Virginia. The first place winners in each category (prose and poetry) and age level will read their entry during the ceremony. First, second, and third place winners in all categories will be honored, and honorable mention recipients will also be recognized. A reception at the museum will follow the awards ceremony. Each year the docents of the Bayly Art Museum organize the Writer’s Eye competition. This year’s program, the 14th, was chaired by docent Mary Ellen Brehm, and received almost 1,100 entries in prose and poetry, submitted in four age categories: grades 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and university/adult. (No awards were given in the adult prose category this year due to an insufficient number of entries.)
