We are pleased to announce the Finalists for the Digital Book World 2018 Awards – part of the DBW 2018 program and the largest publishing awards program in the world.

We received an incredible number of submissions, from all over the world. As we culled through them, we made decisions on some categories which could be combined with others, and some categories which did not end up with enough volume to justify Finalists, and were removed. Every Finalist was selected from among a pool of nominations made to Digital Book World 2018 over the calendar year.

As important as Digital Book World is in convening the wide world of publishing, and enabling publishers of all sizes and types to gather together, it’s just as important to provide a venue for all publishers to compete against one another on equal footing, With the DBW Awards, we have accomplished that, providing an awards program honoring best-in-class achievement across that same wide world of publishing.**

We encourage you to check out these fantastic Finalists. Thanks to our judges from all across the world who participated in this process. Read more at: https://www.digitalbookworld.com/single-post/2018/09/10/Digital-Book-World-2018-Award-Finalists-Announced
