Oregon Book Award was founded in 1987 by Brian Booth and Oregon Institute for Literary Arts (OILA).[2][3] In 1993, Literary Arts, a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Oregonians through language and literature, joined with the OILA and continued to support and promote Oregon's authors with the book awards and Oregon Literary Fellowships. Award winners are selected based solely on literary merit by out-of-state judges who change each year.
In 2005 the award ceremony was moved from the Scottish Rite Center to the Wonder Ballroom, in an effort to make it more lively and fun.[4] Since 2009, the awards ceremony has been held at the Gerding Theatre at the Armory, the home of Portland Center Stage.[5]
