The Andy Awards Submission Form

The first awards program specifically for book collaborations. Taking its name from the “and” that underpins creative cooperation, the Andy Award winners will be announced in spring 2025.

 

Collaborative projects have increasingly distinguished themselves as outstanding nonfiction performers. They are among the most popular and well-reviewed nonfiction books in circulation, often appearing on bestseller lists. The process of collaboration not only enhances the quality of a work, it enables narratives that might have gone untold and ideas that might have gone unexpressed to reach the marketplace.

 

The Andies recognize the quality of the work and the collaborative process in three categories of book collaboration:

 

• Business and Thought Leadership;
• Memoir and Narrative Nonfiction; and
• Prescriptive Nonfiction.
