The 2012 Christy Awards were presented at a banquet on July 16th at Orlando’s Rosen Centre Hotel during the International Christian Retail Show, which was emceed by New York Times bestselling and Christy Award-winning author Liz Curtis Higgs.

The Christy Award is designed to nurture and encourage creativity and quality in the writing and publishing of fiction written from a Christian worldview; bring a new awareness of the breadth and depth of fiction choices available, helping to broaden the readership; and provide opportunity to recognize novelists whose work may not have reached bestseller status.
