Ernest Hemingway looking off to the right

The Hemingway Book Awards recognize emerging new talent and outstanding works for 20th Century Wartime Fiction.  The Hemingway Book Awards is a division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards (The CIBAs).

The Hemingway Book Awards competition is named for Ernest Hemingway who was born July 21, 1899

Chanticleer International Book Awards is looking for the best books featuring 20th Century Wartime Fiction in Historical Fiction; Romance and Romantic Fiction; Mysteries, Thrillers, and Suspense Fiction of the time; Literary works and Satire and anything else that author imaginations can dream up for the HEMINGWAY Book Awards division. We will put them to the test and choose the best among them. For Post-1750s Historical Fiction, see our Goethe Awards here.

These titles have moved forward in the judging rounds from the 2021 Hemingway 20th Century Wartime Fiction Short List to the 2021 Hemingway Book Awards Finalists. All FINALISTS will be announced and recognized at the Chanticleer Authors Conference (CAC22).

The First Place Category Winners, along with the CIBA Division Grand Prize winners, will be selected from the 17 CIBA divisions’ Finalists.

We will announce the 1st Place Category winners and Grand Prize Division Winners at the CIBAs Banquet and Ceremony on Saturday, June 25th, 2022 at the luxurious Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham, Wash. sponsored by the 2022 Chanticleer Authors Conference–whether virtual, hybrid, or in-person. 

These titles are in the running for the FIRST PLACE WINNERS of the 2021 Hemingway Book Awards novel competition for 20th Century Wartime Fiction!
