The Zibby Awards

Welcome to the 3rd annual Zibby Awards!! Launched in 2021, the Zibby Awards strove to celebrate the under-celebrated parts of a book. Best spine design, best acknowledgments, best table of contents, and more. Our first celebration was held at the Center for Fiction in Brooklyn, NY. The second was at Zibby’s home.

This year, we’re changing things up. Our awards ceremony will be held in person at Zibby’s Bookshop!

We have 27 categories, all inspired by shelves in the bookstore.

Anyone can nominate a book or author they love (and yes, you can nominate yourself).

Everyone who enters will be entered to win a $200 gift card to Zibby’s Bookshop plus fun swag! All nominees will be notified that they were nominated. Our team will select the finalists in each category. Winners will be in announced in person and via livestream.
