You are invited to enter the 2023 NTBF Book Awards competition recognizing excellence in books published by their authors and/or small, independent publishers. Books will be judged on content, design, and the finished product.
Be sure to read the whole form - there have been some changes, such as., all payments are made at All Payment Options, no Entry Label this year and more.
You can wait to make payments when you have signed up for everything or you can pay for each event separately.

The 2023 Awards will be presented for the best books in the following categories:
Depending on the number of submissions NTBF may present additional awards in some categories or consolidate some. The minimum number of entries must be at least 4 entries per category. (if there are not 4 entries in a category, they will be combined with the genre closest, i.e., Poetry into Non-fiction, YA into Adult or Children, depending on age group) You can help by encouraging other authors you know to enter - especially in your genre. Wouldn't it be great if we had a minimum of 4 entries in each genre?
NTBF will not accept any books containing erotica or other graphic material deemed unacceptable to the literary standards of this competition.
