Nominate Voice of the Heartland
​The Voice of the Heartland Award has been awarded by GLIBA and MIBA to individuals and organizations who uphold the value of independent bookselling and who have made a significant contribution to bookselling in our combined regions. This mission statement has remained slightly open ended to allow us to choose recipients that the committee feels embody the spirit of this statement.

We welcome and encourage nominations that are outside of the traditional box and serve to celebrate the accomplishments and tenacity in our multi-faceted and diverse regions. Nominations for Voice of the Heartland are open to booksellers, publishers, authors or any individual or group that has made a contribution to our region. Please use the nomination form below. Nominations are due by July 30th, 2022. Thank you!
