Nominations are now open for the two annual GBW awards: "The Laura Young Award" and "The Lifetime Achievement Award." The former is presented to a GBW member who has made an outstanding contribution to the Guild's mission. The latter is presented to an accomplished person in the field, not necessarily a member of GBW, and will confer to that person, honorary membership as well.  Click here to see previous awardees.
