International Latino Book Awards
The International Latino Book Awards (ILBA) recognize the best achievements in Spanish or Portuguese literature each year in the United States. They are produced by Latino Literacy Now,[1] an organization co-founded by Edward James Olmos, Kirk Whisler and REFORMA (the National Association to Promote Library & Information Services to Latinos and the Spanish Speaking),[2] affiliated to the ALA (American Library Association).
Since 1997, the International Latino Book Awards are announced annually at BookExpo America, the largest publishing trade show in the United States.
At the moment there are 97 categories that include books published in English and Spanish, written by Latino/Hispanic/Chicano authors currently living in USA.[3]
Among the winners are writers Rodolfo Acuña, Isabel Allende, Rudolfo Anaya, Daína Chaviano, Oscar Hijuelos, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Nery Santos Gómez, Norma Cantú and Pablo Neruda.
