Just a quick note:
The International Christian Book Awards is committed to maintaining the highest standards of excellence. For this reason, not every submission can receive an award. However, we believe that the very act of writing and sharing your story is a victory in itself.
If your work is not awarded, it may not align perfectly with our award criteria at this time, BUT it does not diminish its value or potential impact.
Keep growing. Keep going. Your story matters! Now let's go!

Year-Round
The International Christian Book Awards is unique because it evaluates books with both biblical integrity and literary excellence, provides meaningful feedback, and actively empowers Christian authors who carry God's message through story to expand their reach and impact for the Gospel through methods of recognition and support.
You may submit as many categories related to your book as you would like. Each category will be charged a $69 fee. Select the first six categories through the drop-down menus on the submission form. For more than six categories, submit a separate form and note you are entering additional categories. Only upload your book to one form, but include the title on both forms you submit. Enter the quantity of categories on each form in the quantity box. You will only be entered in the number of categories paid for.

Use the experience to refine your craft, deepen your message, and continue pursuing the calling God has placed on your heart.
