We are excited and honored to announce the 2017 Winners of the Chanticleer International Book Awards. The winners were recognized at the fifth annual Chanticleer Authors Conference and Awards Banquet Ceremony on Saturday, April 21, 2018, at the Hotel Bellwether, Bellingham, Wash.
We want to thank all of the authors who participated in the 2017 Chanticleer Book Awards. Each year, we find the quality of the entries and the competitiveness of the division competitions increasing exponentially, which is why the contest judges wanted to add Shortlisters 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.
Congratulations to the Chanticleer Overall Grand Prize Book Award Winner for 2017
