28th Annual Virginia Literary Awards Celebration
Saturday, September 20, 2025 | 6:00pm - 9:30pm
Celebrate with the Library of Virginia as we award the Commonwealth's highest prizes for fiction, nonfiction, poetry, children's literature and art in literature. Join us for an awards ceremony, dinner and a silent auction hosted by award-winning author Adriana Trigiani to raise support for the Library's preservation, education and research initiatives.
The Virginia Literary Awards honor writers and celebrate their contributions to the literary landscape of our state and nation. Awards are given to Virginia authors in the categories of poetry, children's literature, fiction, and nonfiction—and to nonfiction authors for works about a Virginia subject as well. Also presented are Art in Literature: The Mary Lynn Kotz Award and the Honorary Patron of Letters Degree, which recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the fields of history, library science or archival science.
Presented by Dominion Energy and supported by Carole and Marcus Weinstein, this annual gala celebration has become the Library's signature event and an eagerly anticipated cultural tradition in Richmond, attracting those who enjoy the written word and support literature.
