Winners: Award winners will be notified by mail and will receive certificates and stickers. The winners will also be recognized at a special awards ceremony during the December meeting.
All books are considered for Best Cover and Best Design awards. The judges may also decide to award some books “Best of” category awards. While we typically use the category specified on your entry, we reserve the option to select an alternate category if deemed appropriate.
The decisions of the judges and the Book Awards Program Coordinator are final. Books become the property of BAIPA and will not be returned.
