The DBT Literary Awards Contest

Contest Details

In our 15+ years of experience in the book industry, we’ve seen that promotions of award-winning books are more successful than those without awards. Make sure that your marketing efforts are having the greatest impact by entering your book in the DBT Literary Awards Contest!

	For our 2025 contest, we will begin accepting entries in March and the deadline to enter is October 10th, 2025.
	Prizes include a digital emblem (1st place, 2nd place, etc.) for you to proudly use in marketing your book, and first-place winners will also receive a quotable endorsement and featured promotion on our website throughout the year!
	We offer dozens of genres, ensuring your book will be properly categorized (See our list of contest genres on this page for more details).
	See our FAQ page for more information about our literary awards contest, our judging process, and the prizes.
	Our affordable entry fee is just $40!
