Author Awards

Books by the Banks is excited to recognize the best of the best with its annual Author Awards. These awards are meant to honor the abilities of our wonderful writers and say thank you for making our festival one of the best in the country.

Books by the Banks authors who are accepted to the festival are automatically considered for the awards. Authors do not need to apply. Winners receive a cash prize, Rookwood Pottery trophy designed for the event, and special recognition at festival and pre-festival reception. A committee of festival organizers and literary professionals selects the award winners.
