We always check for stragglers, the inevitable stray, and late ratings coming in from judges (they do this as a labor of love for books and authors), and other anomalies that are just the nature of tracking the thousands of entries that we receive despite our state of the art integrated software program for tracking, DRM, and interactions with the judges.

The works that made it to the 2019 SEMI-FINALIST are currently in the final rounds of judging to determine which ones will move forward to the limited First Place Categories and the coveted grand prize position for each division. The Overall Grand Prize for Best Book will be determined from the 17 divisions’ grand prize winners.

An Important Announcement from KIFFER – the Chanticleer Authors Conference has been postponed until September 3 -6, 2020 (from the original date of April 16-19, 2020) due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation. This postponement was decided on March 12, 2020. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we are scrambling with the rescheduling and the logistics. All registrants have been notified by individual emails. We will post updates as we know more.

We are currently working on the schedule of CAC events and CIBA announcements for the new dates. Thank you for our patience and understanding during this unique event that is presenting new challenges on many fronts for everyone.

All Semi-Finalists in attendance at the 2020 Chanticleer Authors Conference that is scheduled to take place April 16 -19, 2020 will be recognized. CAC 20 is the sponsor of the Chanticleer International Book Awards banquet and ceremony.

WHO WON the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBAs)

We are deeply honored to announce the 2018 Winners of the Chanticleer International Book Awards (The CIBAs). The winners were recognized at the annual Chanticleer Authors Conference and Awards Banquet Ceremony on Saturday, April 27, 2019, at the luxurious Hotel Bellwether, Bellingham, Wash.

We want to thank all of the authors and publishers who participated in the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards (the CIBAs). Each year, we find the quality of the entries and the competitiveness of the division competitions increasing exponentially. We added a new level to the judging rounds in 2018—the SemiFinalists. The CIBA judges wanted to add Semi-Finalists as a way to recognize and validate the entries that were not selected for the very few First Place Award positions within each genre division.

PublishDrive, a global distribution platform, and Hindenburg Systems, audiobooks and podcasts software, awarded more than $30,000 (cash value) in additional prizes to the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Award winners. Thank you!

A Recap of the CIBA Selection Process

There are 16 divisions of the CIBAs: 14 fiction genre divisions and 2 non-fiction divisions.
First Place Category award winners were selected for each one of the 16 divisions from an overall field of 275 titles that progressed to the Semi-Finalists positions from the Shortlists, the Long List, and the infamous beginning slush pile rounds.
One Grand Prize award winner was selected from the First Place Category Award Winners for each of the 16 CIBA divisions.
One Overall Grand Prize award winner was selected from the 16 divisions of Grand Prize Award Winners

All CIBA Semi-Finalists in attendance at the CIBA awards ceremony were recognized with their respective division at the CIBA awards ceremony along with receiving a Semi-Finalist ribbon and digital badge and a significant discount to attend the Chanticleer Authors Conference.

Additional Prize from the DONALD MAASS LITERARY AGENCY

An additional prize was awarded to the 2018 CIBA Grand Prize Award Winners and the First Place Category Award Winners by the Donald Maass Literary Agency (that represents more than 150 novelists and sell more 100 novels each year to leading publishers in the U.S. and overseas). Donald Maass has offered “a high priority submission” process opportunity to the 2018 Grand Prize CIBA winners and a “priority submission” process opportunity to the 2018 CIBA 1st Place Category winning titles for consideration by his agency.

An email will go out to all 2018 CIBA award winners prior to June 10, 2019 with instructions, links, and more information about the awards packages. We appreciate your patience. As stated in the Semi-Finalist notification email, “One does not need to be present at the CIBA ceremony and banquet to win. But it sure is a lot more fun!”

And now to present the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards Grand winning titles and their authors who were announced on April 27, 2019, at the CIBA ceremony and banquet.
