SPONSOR: Society of Mayflower
Descendents in the State of North Carolina
CATEGORY: At first given to
a North Carolina resident without regard to genre; then for many years
alternated between fiction and nonfiction; since 1951 has been awarded
only for nonfiction. In 2002 the North Carolina Society of Mayflower Descendants
ceased awarding the Mayflower Cup due to the difficulty of obtaining new
cups and the high cost of the program.
