Awards Received by Cinco Puntos Press

Lannan Foundation, 2005

Cultural Freedom Fellowship awarded to Bobby and Lee Byrd
The purpose of the Cultural Freedom awards and fellowships is to recognize individuals whose work inspires their communities, domestic and international, that are struggling to uphold and defend their right to cultural freedom and diversity. As defined by the Foundation, Cultural Freedom is a basic human right dependent on political, economic, and environmental justice.

The American Book Award, 1999

Excellence in publishing
Before Columbus Foundation
“We always hear about passion in this business, but rarely devotion. What Bobby and Lee Byrd have created is what begins as a dream and ideal for most people. But after the hard work and constant battles take their toll, most get jaded and things get reduced to a simple business proposition. Unlike the NAFTA-mindedness of corporate publishing culture, Bobby and Lee Byrd and all of Cinco Puntos have the integrity to continue to live their dream, not just on the border, but across borders. This is one family, one publisher, which deserves our attention and respect.”

Sunshine Community Service Award, 1999

Excellence in publishing
Given by the Border Book Festival

Dwight A. Myers Award, 1997

Excellence in regional publishing
Given by the Rocky Mountain Publishing Association
“Cinco Puntos’ publishing program is adventurous and creative and their name shows a commitment to regional interests. Cinco Puntos excels in high-quality production such as print style, book design, cover art and illustration.”

Southwest Book Award, 1993

Excellence in publishing
Given by the Border Regional Library Association
