Nominations for the 14th annual High Plains Book Awards will be accepted through March 14.

Information and nomination forms are online at highplainsbookawards.org.

The High Plains Books Awards recognize regional authors and/or literary works that examine and reflect life on the High Plains — the Dakotas, Montana, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Nominated books must have been published for the first time in 2019. Winners get a $500 cash prize and are featured at the High Plains Bookfest on Sept. 24-26 in Montana.

There are 12 book categories:

• Art & Photography.

• Children’s Book.

•Creative Nonfiction.

•Fiction, First Book.

•Indigenous Writer.

•Medicine/Science.

•Nonfiction.

•Poetry.

•Short Stories.

•Woman Writer.

•Young Adult.

Nominated books are read and evaluated by community readers. Finalists in each category will be announced in June. Winners will be determined by a panel of published writers with ties to the High Plains. More information is also available by contacting Shari Nault, High Plains Book Awards president, at 406-672-6223 orshari2redlodge@gmail.com.
