Winship.
Since 2005, the award has been presented in three categories: fiction, non-fiction, and poetry with each winner receiving $1,000. For one year in 2012, the award was called the Laurence L. & Thomas Winship/PEN New England Award in honor of father and son, Thomas Winship, both long-time Boston Globe editors. It was renamed to simply PEN New England Award starting with the 2013 award.
The award presentation is sponsored in part by the JFK Presidential Library.{{cite press release |title=2012 Laurence L. & Thomas Winship /Pen New England Awards Announced |url=http://www.jfklibrary.org/About-Us/News-and-Press/Press-Releases/2012-Laurence-L-Thomas-Winship-Pen-New-England-Awards-Announced.aspx |publisher=JFK Presidential Library |date=March 13, 2012 |accessdate=August 27, 2012 |archive-date=September 16, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120916122007/http://www.jfklibrary.org/About-Us/News-and-Press/Press-Releases/2012-Laurence-L-Thomas-Winship-Pen-New-England-Awards-Announced.aspx |url-status=live }} The award is one of many PEN awards sponsored by International PEN affiliates in over 145 PEN centres around the world.
