Start with a free screen
The free screen tells you whether your book appears likely to qualify before you buy an entry. It is not a cash-prize contest; it is a no-card qualification check.
SUBMISSION PATH
Submit a Published Book for Honest Award Judging
BookyAwards is a book award submission path for completed books, not a short-story contest or unpublished manuscript prize.
Choose an award tier
The Booky Award tier includes full judging, a permanent award page, certificate, and badge. The Author Bundle adds promotional assets authors can distribute themselves.
Why it is not a traditional contest
There are no seasonal judging windows, celebrity panels, or vague finalist lists. The value is a transparent award page with category-specific reasoning and rubric scores.
Find out what your book does best.
Start with the free screen, then submit for full judging when you are ready for a permanent award page and author-ready assets.
