This award is given "for [Kenney's] outstanding efforts in fostering the publication of Mormon literature. His willingness to risk publication and republication of fine literary works, despite the likelihood of lower sales, has heartened many authors and readers alike."
Carol Lynn Pearson received a special award "for her sustained and distinguished contributions, over two decades, to a variety of genres--the novel, the short story, poetry, drama and musical drama, humor, and the essay, all of which reflect the ethos of a thoughtful and committed Latter-day Saint."
