"What Can We Do Next?"  has won an 2009 EVVY Merit Award.

The winners were announced during a banquet dinner and awards ceremony gala held March 28, 2009 in Denver, Colorado.  For the past several years, Outskirts Press has received the most awards among all participating publishers.  Once again, Outskirts Press was the most honored publisher taking home a total of 17 awards, including 6 First Place Awards. 

Each year, the EVVY Awards recognize excellence in independently published books. Sponsored by the Colorado Independent Publishers Association.  The EVVY Awards are judged by a 3rd-party panel of professionals on a qualitative scale of merit in nineteen different categories.

For the past several years, Outskirts Press has officially nominated approximately 5% of the books they publish each year for submission to the annual EVVY Awards.  These Official Outskirts Press nominations represent the very best of their publications as determined by Outskirts Press executives, members of the production teams, and marketing department. 

Like all book contests, the EVVY Awards are very competitive and only the highest-caliber books are recognized from the publisher’s submissions across the state. Unlike other book contests, fewer than 500 total entries are submitted, increasing the statistical odds that an Outskirts Press Official Nominee will be recognized as an award-winning publication.
