The High Plains Book Awards are pleased to announce the 2022 finalists.
All nominated works — a record 293 of them this year — were read and evaluated by community readers, who read 1,104 individual books. Winners in each category will be determined by a judging panel of published writers with connections to the High Plains regions. The Big Sky Award finalists will be announced separately.
Congratulations to all 2022 finalists!
The initial reading of nominated titles is completed with the assistance of our community readers, who provide the initial evaluation of the books.
