Nominations may be submitted by the author of the work, by another scholar, or by the publisher of the work. If the publisher advances a nomination, it must be accompanied by a letter from a scholar. The nominator must submit a nomination letter online detailing the contribution of the book and the basis for the nomination. Additionally, the nominator must mail ten (10) printed copies of the book being nominated to:

The book may have been published anywhere in the world but, for purposes of consideration, must be available in English. Books published in 2022 that were nominated for the 2023 award may be re-nominated for consideration this year. Edited volumes, including textbooks, will not be considered. Nominations for the Outstanding Book Award are due October 26, 2023. Please ensure that printed copies of the book arrive by October 26.
