The Colorado Authors' Hall of Fame celebrates the accomplishments of living and passed authors who have been connected to Colorado—their words, wisdom, accomplishments and the life-changing impact their works create. The result: their legacy lives on.

Long overdue, it’s time to recognize and honor the works that sage advice and page-turning story telling have brought forth to readers of all ages. Words that entrance, delight, and change the lives of men, women, and children.

The writers and authors who create them have made a difference that transforms how people live, work and play. That value can only be declared as priceless.

The Colorado Authors' Hall of Fame recognizes and honors the words of extraordinary published works who meet the Hall’s criteria. Members of the public must study the criteria and enact their nominations of exceptional authors. Nominations are accepted from organizations or individuals throughout the state. A diverse group of Colorado citizens, including literary professionals, is recruited to serve as the Selection Committee. The Selection Committee reviews all nominations, performs additional research if necessary, and selects nominees for induction into the Colorado Authors' Hall of Fame.

The next Induction will be on Monday, September 15, 2025 in Denver, Colorado.
Up to 12 new inductees will be admitted into the Hall of Fame.

Nominations will OPEN on August 31, 2024

Nominations will close on March 31,2025
