The National Outdoor Book Awards (NOBAs) is the outdoor world's largest and most prestigious book award program. It is a non-profit, educational program, sponsored by the Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education, and Idaho State University.
The purpose of the Awards is to recognize and encourage outstanding writing and publishing. Each fall in early November, the NOBA committee announces the winners of the 9 categories making up the program, including History, Literature, Children, Nature, Instructional, Adventure Guidebook, Nature Guidebook, Design, and Outdoor Classic.
The winners are chosen by a panel of judges consisting of educators, book reviewers, outdoor columnists and authors from throughout the country. Once selected, the books are publicized through wire service stories, press releases, and announcements at related websites.
For members of the media, they have included a press informational page with the latest press releases and high resolution scans of winning books. Publishers and authors will also find application forms, entry rules, and information on how to nominate books for the annual awards.
More information about the Awards program is available from Ron Watters, P. O. Box 8128, Idaho State University, Pocatello, ID 83209.
