The NaNoBoston Beacon Award


Established in 2015, the NaNoBoston Beacon is presented to the Wrimo who best leads by example, who contributes to the community, and who works hardest to set a good example for their fellow NaNoBostonians.

The Excellence in Monthly Literary Overachievement Award was given out between 2006-2015. The award was retired when we retired Elmo as our unofficial mascot.
