The Golden Crown Literary Awards are presented every year during the Annual Conference and recognize excellence in women-loving-women and sapphic literature.

​

The Goldies reward quality literature, cover design, and individuals in 19 categories, 2 popular choice categories, and 3 special categories. The Board of Directors constantly review proposals for new categories. The Goldies have been the annual event of the women-loving-women and sapphic literature calendar since 2005.
