Publishing houses must submit proof of copyrights and all documents pertaining to the legitimacy of the translation, publishing and circulation of the submitted works.
SIBF’s Dh300,000 Emirati Book Award encourages local literary talents across four sub-categories: Best Emirati Novel (Dh100,000), Best Emirati Academic Book (Dh100,000), Best Emirati Photography Book about the UAE (Dh50,000), and Best Emirati Creative Literature (Dh50,000).
To celebrate and honour the Arab creative output, SBA is dedicating Dh150,000 for Best Arabic Novel Award, while Dh50,000 each is allocated for the Best International Book Award for Fiction and Non-fiction categories.
The Sharjah Publisher Recognition Award will recognise publishers for their contributions across three sub-categories: Best Local Publisher, Best Arab Publisher and Best International Publisher. The Dh75,000 prize will be divided equally between the three winners whose works help in advancing the publishing sector.
