GetAbstract International Book Award explained
The getAbstract International Book Award is a bilingual award for nonfiction business-focused books.
History
The getAbstract International Book Award has been presented annually since 2001 and is awarded to four authors (or co-authors) for their work in English or German.[1] [2] [3] The initial focus of the award was on books from the genres economics, politics, and society. Over the years, the focus has narrowed more specifically to business-relevant books.[4] The award intends to raise the visibility of "(...) titles that make a difference to how [people] think, work, and live.”[5]
Until 2020, the award ceremony took place at the Frankfurt Book Fair;[6] [7] since the COVID-19 pandemic, the award has been presented virtually.
In 2021, the getAbstract International Book Award will include a total financial prize of EUR 20,000.
Media partners
The getAbstract International Book Award has been presented in cooperation with notable business media partners including Financial Times Germany and Capital.
SInce 2021, the official media partner is brand eins.
The award is regularly covered by international media including Financial Times[8] [9] Germany, Handelszeitung & The Wall Street Journal,[10] [11] The Boston Globe,[12] Reuters,[13] Handelsblatt,[14] Bloomberg Television,[15] and several other publications[16] and websites.[17] [18] [19] [20]
Jury
The jury, responsible for selecting the shortlist and winners, consists of getAbstract staff and external partners. All jury members receive an equal vote. The members in 2021 include the Swiss author Niko Stoifberg and German journalist Peter Lau. The jury considers books published in the twelve months preceding the award.
Winners of the getAbstract International Book Award
The getAbstract International Book Award traditionally recognizes two books per language category. The awards are weighted equally, without rank or preference.
In 2021, the winners will be announced in November. Winners are selected from the longlists, which in 2021 include titles by Nobel Memorial Prize winner Daniel Kahneman et al., psychologist Jacinta M. Jiménez,[21] and 2019 winner Dan Pontefract.
Since 2020, getAbstract has invited readers to vote for their favorite book longlisted in the “Business Impact” category. The “Readers’ Choice” award (International & German) goes to the work with the most votes.[22]
