INTRODUCTION
The National Outdoor Book Awards (NOBA) is a
non-prot educational program sponsored by the
NOBA Foundation, the Association of Outdoor
Recreation and Education, and Idaho State Uni-
versity. Its purpose is to recognize and encourage
outstanding writing and publishing in the outdoor
eld. Books may be nominated for awards in one
of ten categories.
ELIGIBILITY
1. General Eligibility. Eligible works include
full length books with subject matter
related to outdoor adventure activities, i.e.
mountaineering, rock climbing, kayaking,
rafting, canoeing, hiking, mountain biking,
backpacking, skiing, exploration, shing,
sailing, and other related, primarily non-
motorized, outdoor activities. Works dealing
with nature, natural history, conservation, or
the environment are also eligible and should be
entered in the appropriate category. Books must
be written in English.
2. Release Dates. To be eligible for the 2021
National Outdoor Book Awards, nominated
books should be newly published and must have
been released (date of rst shipment of books)
after June 1, 2020 and before September 1,
2021, except for those titles which have been
nominated for the Outdoor Classic Award.
3. Outdoor Classic Award. One special award
(The Outdoor Classic Award) will be made
annually to outdoor books of unusual and
lasting signicance in the outdoor eld. Books
nominated for the Classic Award must have
been originally copyrighted prior to 2011 and
still be in print.
4. Revised Editions. Revised editions are only
allowed in the two "Guides & Instructional"
categories. The following restrictions apply:
1) the new edition must be signicantly updated;
2) the copyright year must have been updated;
and, 3) the revised edition must meet the
“Release Dates” requirement above.
5. Edited Works. All books, except those entered
in the Design and Outdoor Classic categories,
must be the work of one or two authors. Edited
collections and anthologies with multiple authors
are not acceptable.
6. Nominations. Book nominations may be
submitted by publishers or authors.
7. Deadlines. Nominated books are accepted
starting in June of 2021. The nal deadline
to receive books and entry forms is Thursday,
August 19, 2021.
8. Limits. There is no limit to the number of titles
an author or publisher may submit.
9. Eligibility Disputes. In the event of a dispute
as to eligibility, the judges will decide whether
a book is eligible, and their decision will be
binding.
10. Previous Winners. No entry will be ineligible
because its author has previously won the
National Outdoor Book Award or any other
award.
11. Judges Decisions. Decisions made by the
judging panel and the NOBA Governing
Committee will be nal.
12. Condentiality. All work of the judging panels
