After three years of virtual awards ceremonies, the National Book Critics Circle will return to the New School for an in-person awards ceremony on March 23, 2023, followed by a reception sponsored by International Literary Properties. We’re so excited to join together and celebrate once again!

First, on March 22, we will hold a virtual event with readings from the finalists.

Registration for all events will be handled by our co-sponsor Wildbound, who will also present the virtual readings.

Advance registration for the ceremony is mandatory, as per covid protocol, and all guests will need to present ID + proof of vaccine.

Please register at Wildbound and choose from one of three options: 1) readings; 2) readings and ceremony; or 3)  readings, ceremony, and reception.

The readings and ceremony are free, and tickets for the reception are $60 for NBCC members and $80 for non-members.
