The ACFW-VA Crown Award gives unpublished writers the opportunity to have those all-important first five pages of their Christian fiction manuscript evaluated by industry professionals.

The first round is judged entirely by multi-published authors. Entries advancing to the final round will be evaluated by top professionals in the Christian publishing industry—literary agents, editors, and influential book bloggers.
