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.

Each year, achievement awards may also be given out at the discretion of the Whitney Awards Committee. The Outstanding Achievement Award and Lifetime Achievement Award honor exceptional bodies of work and/or contributions to the writing community by authors who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Award winners are announced at the Whitney Awards Gala each spring. The gala takes place during the Storymakers Conference.
