Book Of The Year Award

The BIBA Book of the Year Cash Prize for 2024 has now risen to $2,000.00 U. S. dollars.

What Is The BIBA Book of the Year Cash Prize Award?

When you enter the BIBA contest, if you win in any category, your book will automatically be entered into the BIBA Book of the Year competition.  Each year, irrespective of category or whether or not the book is fiction or non-fiction, BIBA judges will select one Book of the Year from the winning authors’ pool.  In addition to the BIBA trophy for the category won, this single BIBA Book of the Year winner will also receive the BIBA Book of the Year $500 (USD) cash prize. We begin each year with the cash prize at $500 U.S. Dollars; this prize may, or may not, increase during the year, depending on the number of entries we receive in any given year. In addition, this cash prize is paid out in United States dollars. If you are in a different country and you win the Book of the Year and receive this cash prize, due to your country’s exchange rate, you may receive more, or less, in your country’s currency than the amount paid out by BIBA in USD. We do not add more to the cash prize to offset your country’s exchange rate. This cash prize is paid out via Paypal. But again, only one winner per year is chosen from all the BIBA winners in that contest year.
