The Benjamin Franklin Awards, named in honor of the influential American publisher and printer, recognizes excellence in independent publishing. Presented by the Independent Book Publishers Association (PMA), the prize recognizes excellence in publishing. Publications are grouped according to genre and then judged based on editorial and design by top practitioners in each field. This year, the awards were presented during a gala awards ceremony at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, New York.
