Congratulation to Katie on her most recent recognition! Girl on the Rocks took the honor for best “Instructional Category”.

The National Outdoor Book Awards (NOBA) is the outdoor world’s largest and most prestigious book award program.

It is a non-profit, educational program, sponsored by the National Outdoor Book Awards Foundation, Association of Outdoor Recreation and Education, and Idaho State University.

The purpose of the awards is to recognize and encourage outstanding writing and publishing. Each fall in early November, the NOBA Foundation announces the winners of the ten categories making up the program, including History, Literature, Children, Nature, Natural History, Instructional, Adventure Guidebook, Nature Guidebook, Design, and Outdoor Classic.

The program has very high standards of fairness and objectivity and has no connection whatsoever to any publisher or publishing business interest. The winners are chosen by a panel of judges consisting of educators, academics, book reviewers, authors, editors, and outdoor columnists from throughout the country. Once selected, the books are publicized through wire service stories, press releases, and announcements at related websites.
