Although entries must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on Monday, January 5, 2009 (this is not a postmark deadline), applicants are encouraged to submit their books into competition any time during the calendar year, and as soon as possible after their books are officially published. Winners will be announced the first week in March; gold medalists will be awarded at the Historic and Cultural Awards Ceremony at the R.A. Gray Building in Tallahassee in late March or early April. All FBA Medalists will be acknowledged at a banquet hosted by the Florida Library Association at its annual conference on May 7. |
