WRMA Ceremony Weekend Moves to Oklahoma!
We are thrilled to announce that the Will Rogers Medallion Award weekend will now be held in Claremore and Tulsa, Oklahoma! The 2025 award weekend will kick off on Thursday, October 30, with opportunities for award-winning authors to speak in schools and other local venues. Friday night (October 31st) remains the night for our annual Meet & Greet and it will take place at the Will Rogers Memorial Museum. We'll have a catered light dinner, a keynote address from the Golden Lariat award-winning INSP channel representatives, a screening of the film "Reagan," and a question/answer period provided by the film's producer, Mark Joseph. Saturday morning (November 1st) is reserved for book signings, the afternoon for a panel on self-publishing, and of course the day culminates with the WRMA Banquet and Ceremony at our host hotel, the Hard Rock Hotel Tulsa. Click here for more details.
The 2025 Will Rogers Medallion Award winners will be announced in early June, both on our website and on our Facebook page. Winners will soon receive (within a few weeks of the announcement) an official congratulatory letter and a packet of information they'll need to prepare for our award weekend. The winners' rankings will be announced during the award ceremony on November 1st, and WRMA's Lifetime Achievement award will be presented to Preston Lewis, and our Golden Lariat award will be presented to the INSP Network. Check back here and our facebook page for more information as we near the ceremony weekend.
