Filipino Readers' Choice Awards (FRCA) is back after a long hiatus. The last FRCA was set last 2014. The FRCA will now be handled by the Book Development Association of the Philippines (BDAP). Thus, FRCA will be conducted every other year alternately with BDAP's Gintong Aklat Awards.
Only books written by Filipino authors and artists published or self-published in the Philippines, either print or ebook, are eligible. Reprints or later editions of books previously nominated to the FRCA will not be considered. To make up for the lost years, two batches will be awarded this year for 15 categories. The first batch are books published from 2015 - 2018 while the second batch are books published from 2019 - 2021.
The 15 categories for both batches this year are:
- Fiction in English
- Fiction in Filipino or Taglish
- Romance in English
- Romance in Filipino or Taglish
- Fiction Anthology
- Young Adult Fiction
- Children's Picture Book
- Comics & Graphic Novels
- Poetry
