Nota Bene, Latin for "note well," is Phi Theta Kappa's honors anthology. It recognizes outstanding writing of Phi Theta Kappa members and demonstrates to the literary public the academic excellence and commitment to scholarship found at two-year colleges. The first issue of Nota Bene was published in 1994; it has been published annually ever since.

The deadline for the 2010 Nota Bene is December 4, 2009. Only Phi Theta Kappa members may submit manuscripts, and manuscripts should be submitted while a member is enrolled in an associate-degree program. Qualitative and quantitative research papers, poetry, short stories, essays and drama are accepted for consideration. No single entry may exceed 2,500 words. The author of the manuscript judged most outstanding will receive the Citation Scholarship, a stipend of $1,000. Authors of four manuscripts will be named recipients of Reynolds Scholarship Awards, stipends of $500 each.
