Last December, Outskirts Press officially nominated 2% of its published books for the Colorado Independent Publishers Association EVVY Awards. We listed those Official Outskirts Press Evvy Award Nominees on our blog.
The CIPA Evvy Award judges have since reviewed all the submissions received from all eligible authors and publishers to arrive upon the EVVY Award Finalists. Those finalists will all be honored with either a 1st Place, 2nd Place, 3rd Place, or Merit Award within each applicable category at the annual EVVY Awards on May 17th in Denver, Colorado. Outskirts Press executives will be on hand to accept the awards on behalf of authors not able to appear in person.
Outskirts Press is proud to announce that it has thirteen talented finalists being honored, the most among all participating publishers. We’re sure the CIPA judges had to make tough choices to narrow our amazing list of 
nominees to these thirteen finalists, presented below in alphabetical order.
Winning a first, second, or third place EVVY Award is a prerequisite to being named the Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year award-winner and walking away with the $1,500 Grand Prize. More details and announcements regarding our own annual Book Contest will appear on this blog in a few weeks.
In the meantime, here are the 2012 Outskirts Press EVVY Finalists. Congratulations to them all!

obviously like your web-site but you have to take a look at the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very troublesome to inform the truth on the other hand I will certainly come again again.
My name is Don Thompson. I’m humbled and honored to be one of the thirteen finalists. Thank you Outskirts Press for the quality of work on your part. My illustrator (Victor Guiza) was outstanding! The children and parents that I have read my book to, just love it..Many wonderfull comments…I can’t thank you enough…Sincerely, Don
