The 2024 American Legacy Book Awards (ALBA) are a new awards program in the United States that inclusively honors books published between 2010-2023.

Once the initial six-month launch of a new book is over, the book is considered a backlist title, and the industry moves on to the next batch of new releases.

Out of the hundreds of contests online, most currently focus on books that have been released within the last several years.

What if your book was released over two years ago? Your options are limited, and the news media would need a very compelling reason to cover your book again.

An ALBA award emblem on your book cover and marketing material can increase recognition, enhance your title’s credibility, and garner more attention in the crowded book buying marketplace.

• Enter Your 2010-2023 Titles! Open to all books & e-books published in English with an ISBN or ASIN. All entries must be currently available for sale online.

• We Pick Winners! ALBA was created by the same team that launched the “Best Book Awards” 20 years ago. Many titles that have placed in our family of award programs have gone on to garner greater recognition. Visit our featured Award Laureates!

• Social Media Exposure on our American Book Fest Facebook Page! Our Facebook pages have over 132,000 book lovers!

• A History of Excellence! Over the last 20 years, we have featured over twenty thousand books from mainstream, indie, and self-publishers. We will continue to promote books to the national and international book buying public!

• $74 per title/per category

• E-mail Submission Available! Details below & on page 2 of your entry form.

• Final Entry Deadline: February 16, 2024

• Winners & Finalists Announced: late March 2024

WINNERS & FINALISTS IN EACH CATEGORY RECEIVE:

• Results Announced on American Book Fest's Social Media Pages (132,000+ Fans/Friends)

• Promote Your Title as an Award-Winning Book: As a winner or finalist, you will have the right to highlight your award on your book cover, website, and marketing material. Award Stickers & Premium Certificates will be available for purchase for all winners & finalists in each category.

• High-Res Digital Logos: Unlike other award programs, our digital logos are free to use on your book cover, website, social media, and marketing material.

• Marketing Tips & Ideas to Promote Your Award: The announcement e-mail includes links and ideas for you to maximize the impact of your award. It’s time to think outside the box and make your book relevant again!
