The Hemingway Book Awards competition is our nod to one of our favorite 20th Century American novelists, journalists, and short story authors, Ernest Hemingway. Born on July 21, 1899, Hemingway was one of many who experienced the massive global shift from regional wars to large-scale, world wars. The events he lived through made him the man we know today. Winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954, Hemingway’s influence reaches virtually all genres of literature. (Find out more about the man here.)

The 2020 HEMINGWAY Book Awards First Place Category Winners and the HEMINGWAY Grand Prize Winner were announced by Gregory Erich Phillips, Overall Grand Prize Winner in the 2014 CIBAs for his manuscript, Love of Finished Years, which is now a top-selling historical fiction novel that deals with World War I.
