The Gintong Aklat (or Golden Book) Awards is conferred biennially by the Book Development Association of the Philippines (BDAP) to the best books judged for all-around excellence. Books are subjected to close scrutiny by three professional panels in book manufacture and judged on the quality of design, printing, and binding, and the significance of content and quality of writing. To qualify for an award, book entries must merit an excellent rating in each aspect of bookmaking. Contest entries are divided over several subject categories—poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, arts and humanities, food, inspiration, self-help, science and technology, natural and applied sciences, social sciences, general reference, and graphic literature.[1][2] The awards are meant to recognize excellence in bookmaking in the country today among the BDAP member community.
The Awards' goal is to honor and promote the creation of high-caliber books that excel in every facet of bookmaking. Book production (binding, printing, etc.), content (writing and editing), and book design are specific areas that should be recognized.
Dedicated to the development of the book industry and the promotion of Filipino books, BDAP, incorporated in 1980, is the force behind the country’s celebrated annual Manila International Book Fair.
