Los Angeles, California. Home to Hollywood, the Lakers, and sunny beaches, this popular west-coast city is also the site of the 2008 IPPY Awards ceremony. The event will take place on May 30, the first evening of this year’s four-day BookExpo America, an annual nationwide convention hosting book-lovers, authors, and members of the publishing industry at the beautiful Los Angeles Convention Center. IPPY finalists will receive their medals and many congratulations during this exciting evening.
This year’s ceremony will wrap up the 12th annual IPPY contest. Established in 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards continues to thrive. Consistently receiving over 3,000 entries a year, the IPPY Awards is now the largest independent book awards contest in the world.
