The Fitzgerald Prize for Literary Excellence is awarded annually by the Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald Museum to an author whose work continues the legacy of American storytelling while also exemplifying the craft, wit, and social insight typified by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was a novelist, short story writer, memoirist, essayist, screenwriter, playwright, lyricist, poet, sportswriter, and veteran, and the Fitzgerald Prize recognizes an author’s contribution in one or more of these areas.
