Your journey to the most impactful room you'll step into all year starts here!
The Kingdom Book Awards Gala
November 17, 2026
You’ve Been Named a Finalist Now It’s Time to Be in the Room
Your book has been recognized. Your message has been seen. Now the next step is to gather with other Kingdom authors, leaders, speakers, coaches, and marketplace voices for a night of honor, connection, and celebration.
This is more than a gala ticket. This is your seat in the room where finalists are honored, winners are revealed live, and Kingdom voices are celebrated.

The Challenge Most Christian Authors Face
Writing the book was only the beginning. Many authors publish a powerful message but struggle to get it into the hands of the people they're called to serve. The reality is that great books don't automatically create influence, opportunities, speaking invitations, or book sales. Visibility matters. That's why every finalist registration includes access to our Author Visibility Workshop, where you'll learn how to expand your reach, position yourself as an expert, and increase the impact of your message.
