Florida Book Awards

The Florida Book Awards exists for one purpose--to honor the best work written by Florida authors in the previous year. Begun in 2006, the Florida Book Awards is the most comprehensive state book awards program in the United States, and the only one with a Spanish Language category. The successes and growth the Florida Book Awards have enjoyed in the last five years are testimony to the quality of authorship and the rich culture of books that exists and continues to prosper in the Sunshine State.

Announcing the 2011 Florida Book Awards competition!
