The Golden Yak Awards recognize the best creative work in a spoken form each semester of the school year. There is one poet, one fiction writer and one non-fiction writer selected on a semester basis. Every Yakker who reads throughout the course of the term is eligible for the recognition. Yakkers are judged on the quality of writing, their speaking voice, ability to play to the crowd, enthusiasm and general “Yakkerness”. The Caretakers of the Yak put forth their nominations and then must come to unanimous support of one Yakker in each genre.
Each writer is interviewed about their work and given a permanent place on the Candid Yak's website for the material that they read. In the future we hope to record or video tape an excerpt of these golden performances for the website.
