MWSA Book Awards

We have 3 levels at which we honor members: Gold, Silver, and Special Recognition.  Gold winners are judged to be the best in their genre.  Silver winners are worthy of mention but did not win their particular genre.

Our Special Recognition Awards were created to recognize exceptional creative works or individuals.  Not all of these awards are given out annually, but are reserved for those demonstrating or possessing that rare talent or quality.

*Deadlines for submitting books for consideration of awards is August 1st of each calendar year.  Books received after August 1st will be placed in consideration for the following year's awards.
