Russell County Women’s Hall of Fame

2022 Essay Contest Rules

The Russell County Women’s Hall of Fame was inaugurated in 2008 by the Russell County Public Library. The Library sponsors an essay contest where writers identify and sing the praises of women who they think should be included in the Hall of Fame. A panel of judges recommends women that should be honored with a place in the Hall of Fame. Judges may also award first or second place, or honorable mention for essays submitted.
