Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

The 28th anniversary of the L. Ron Hubbard Awards for winners of the internationally-acclaimed Writers and Illustrators of the Future Contests will be held in Los Angeles at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre on Sunday, April 15th, it was announced today by contest organizers.

Celebrities and luminaries from around the world of science, science fiction and fantasy are expected to attend the gala event.

The theme of the evening will be “Celebrating 28 Years of Helping New Writers and Artists” to honor the 24 winners of the 2011-12 annual contest traveling from as far away as Australia for one of the writer winners and Sweden for one of the illustrator winners. Other winners this year are from Canada and across the United States.

“Cash prizes of $ 10,000.00 for the grand prize winners alone and inclusion in the 28th annual “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future” anthology (Galaxy Press, 2012) make this a very special night,” Joni Labaqui, director of the contest said. Presentation of the Gold Awards for the year’s best story and illustration will culminate the evening.

The Writers of the Future Contest and the companion anthology were created by L. Ron Hubbard 28 years ago to help discover new, aspiring writers of speculative fiction and give their best work a high-profile publishing showcase.

To date, the Contests have given rise to dozens of flourishing careers, including New York Times bestsellers Dave Wolverton (On My Way to Paradise) , Sean Williams (Star Wars – The Force Unleashed), Karen Joy Fowler (Jane Austin Book Club), Patrick Rothfuss (The Wise Man’s Fear), Nancy Farmer (The Ear, the Eye and the Arm), Jo Beverley (A Lady’s Secret), Lisa Smedman (Extinction) and Tim Myers (Basho and the Fox).

Also, bestsellers such as Dean Wesley Smith (Men In Black), contest winner turned judge, after pumping out over 100 novels, are part of the contests stream of success stories.

Winning authors from past years of the Writers of the Future Contest have sold over 700 novels and over 3,000 short stories in science fiction and fantasy genres. Several past winners have gone on to write in other genres, for the theatre, as well as for TV and movies. Winning illustrators have created artwork for 31 major motion pictures, numerous TV shows, over 500 book covers, covers and story illustrations in magazines, and industrial design. One winner won the Academy Award last year for his animated short film, The Lost Thing.

The winners are chosen by a blue-ribbon panel of judges, famous authors in speculative fiction including; Robert Silverberg, Tim Powers, Kevin J. Anderson, Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Orson Scott Card, Robert J. Sawyer, Sean Williams, Dave Wolverton, Brian Herbert, K.D. Wentworth, Rebecca Moesta, Nina Kiriki Hoffman, Gregory Benford, Doug Beason, Eric Kotani, Mike Resnick, Eric Flint, Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Dean Wesley Smith and Todd McCaffrey.

The just as impressive illustrator judge roster has included in its history: Frank Frazetta, Frank Kelly Freas, Jack Kirby, Dave Dorman, Cliff Nielsen, Vincent Di Fate, Bob Eggleton, Stephen Hickman, Stephan Martiniere, Diane and Leo Dillon, Ron Lindahn, Val Lakey Lindahn, Judith Miller, Stephen Youll, H.R.Van Dongen, Laura Brodian Freas and Sergey Poyarkov.

“The Contests’ successes – most prominently defined by those writers who have ‘made it’ – have left a significant and meaningful mark on the speculative fiction genre and on other aspects of contemporary fiction and the arts,” Labaqui added. “People have called it ‘the American Idol for writers’, even though it is international.”

Michael Fuljenz of Universal Coin & Bullion Wins More Awards for Consumer Protection On Traveling Gold Buyers

Michael Fuljenz of Universal Coin & Bullion Wins More Awards for Consumer Protection On Traveling Gold Buyers











Michael Fuljenz (left), President of Universal Coin & Bullion in Beaumont, Texas, and Jerry Jordan, Managing Editor of The Examiner newspaper in Beaumont, with their first place awards.

Beaumont, TX (PRWEB) June 10, 2011

Michael Fuljenz (http://www.MikeFuljenz.com), President of Universal Coin & Bullion (http://www.UniversalCoin.com) in Beaumont, Texas, has been honored with prestigious excellence-in-journalism awards from the Press Club of Southeast Texas in connection with his consumer protection work about traveling gold buyers.

He has been assisting with news media investigations of gold-buying companies that move from community to community across the United States. Subsequent news stories reported that some of the itinerant buyers offered only pennies on the dollar for rare gold coins and jewelry, despite their frequently advertised claims such as “No One Pays More.”

Mike Fuljenz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_R._Fuljenz) received a first place award for best investigative radio report for one of his weekly programs on KLVI News Talk AM 560 in Beaumont that featured a consumer advisory discussion about gold buyers with Jerry Jordan, Managing Editor of The Examiner newspaper in Beaumont. Jordan also received a first place award for best investigative newspaper report for his continuing series of “Seller Beware” stories about the gold buyers.

The Press Club also honored Fuljenz with a second place award for best radio talk show, also broadcast on KLVI. Jordan received a second place award with Danielle Kosir and Charles Fields of Fox 4 KBTV for their investigative television report, “Gold Coin Scam.”

Fuljenz loaned over $ 40,000 of rare coins and gold jewelry to investigative reporters and editors locally and nationally who then took them to traveling buyers for their offers. One buyer offered only $ 60 for a U.S. gold coin independently valued at $ 10,000 by Fuljenz and fellow members of the Professional Numismatists Guild.

Last year, the Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) honored Fuljenz and Jordan with five national journalism awards for their exposé work and urging consumers to be careful when buying or selling gold and rare coins. Over the years, Fuljenz has received 35 NLG awards of excellence in nine different categories including best newsletter and best investment book.

This past April Fuljenz was a featured speaker at the National Rifle Association’s Freedom First Financial Seminar and an appraiser at the NRA’s Antique Guns and Gold Showcase in Pittsburgh.
