To honor our Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, we instituted the Ruth McDonald Fan Favorite Award. As you peruse this year’s magazine, note your favorite piece—prose, poem, or photo.

Submit your vote HERE by August 16, 2026. The author or artist receiving the most votes will be awarded a $50 honorarium. (Please: One vote per reader.) The winner will be announced on the website, where you can also read past issues of The Loyalhanna Review and watch for upcoming events.
