About the Whitney Awards
The Whitney Awards(opens in new tab) are an annual awards program established in 2007 to honor novels written by authors who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Named after early LDS leader Orson F. Whitney, the awards celebrate excellence and rising standards in LDS literature across multiple fiction genres.
Award winners are announced at the Whitney Awards Gala each spring. The gala takes place during the Storymakers Conference.
