The National Outdoor Book Award (NOBA ) was formed in 1997 as an American-based non-profit program which each year presents awards honoring the best in outdoor writing and publishing. It is housed at Idaho State University and chaired by Ron Watters.[1]
The award is announced in early November of each year.[2] [3]
Winners and honorable mentions (Silver Medals) [ edit ]
Small date (2010 vs 2010 ) = Honorable Mention or Silver Medal (Starting in 2021, "Silver medals" replaced honorable mentions. They are awarded when the two top books in a category score within a slim margin of each other. Ties are also sometimes awarded.)
