Celebrating Great Books of the Pacific Northwest
Since 1964 the PNBA has presented annual awards to recognize excellence in writing from the Pacific Northwest. Rather than soliciting nominations for specific categories, we simply require that the author and/or illustrator reside within the PNBA region and that the book be published within the current eligibility period. In addition, special awards may be given honoring efforts in publishing, illustration, or for a body of work. Special awards are determined at the discretion of PNBA's Book Awards Committee.

All the information about this year's awards is here.

Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association and its 130 member stores will present the first ever virtual celebration of the annual Pacific Northwest Book Awards!
Join your fellow booklovers to meet the recipients of the 2021 Pacific Northwest Book Awards : Donna Barba Higuera , Kim Johnson , E.J. Koh , Silvia Moreno-Garcia , Tina Ontiveros, and Aiden Thomas.
