Recognizing
Greatness for 15 Years
Through
The Int'l Latino Book Awards
By Kirk Whisler
On May 30th before a capacity crowd at the Instituto Cervantes
in midtown Manhattan the most important awards celebrating achievements in
Latino literature were presented to 190 deserving authors and publishers. The
International Latino Book Awards, now in it's 15th year, were presented by Latino Literacy Now in partnership with Las
Comadres para las Americas and the Instituto Cervantes. Since the Awards were
founded over a thousand books have been honored. The important new Award Winning Author logo was also unveiled. In 2012 Latinos in the USA spent over
$500 million on books. They are sophisticated buyers of books in English and
Spanish, as well adult & children books.
The Awards were sponsored this year by
Premium Sponsor Libros Publishing and Gold Sponsor Scholastic. Bronze Sponsors are Atria/Simon Schuster and Vaso Roto Ediciones. Additional support comes from the University of Arizona Press and Arte Público Press. The Awards, already the largest awards in the USA
celebrating achievements in Latino literature, are leading a wave of cultural
and economic development within the Latino community. Tony Plana served as the master of ceremonies for the event and the
presenters included golf legend Chi Chi Rodriguez, various national leaders
within the Latino community, and book industry leaders.
Latino Literacy Now is a nonprofit co-founded by Edward James Olmos to promote literacy
within the community in all forms: educational, financial, and reading. Since
1997 a total of 52 Latino Book & Family Festivals have been held around
the USA within a combined attendance of 880,000. We also conduct the Latino
Books into Movies Awards in an effort to increase the number of Latino themed
films that are produced.
Las Comadres para las Americas, a nonprofit organization, is an internationally
known Latino organization empowering women to be actively engaged in the
growing Latino communities through online and face to face networks. Our
mission is connecting and empowering Latinas everywhere through community
building/networking, cultural preservation and celebration, learning, and
technology.
Instituto Cervantes is a nonprofit organization created by the Spanish government in 1991.
Its mission is to promote the teaching of Spanish and to contribute to the
advancement of the culture of Spanish speaking countries. Instituto Cervantes
is present on five continents with more than 50 centers spread out across
many different countries.
This year's group of entries were judged by an outstanding group
of over 60 notables including Julia L. Abrantes, Andrea Arroyo, Ruben Arvizu,
