In the Non-Literary Book Award category, Zhang Hui-ci's "Eldest Daughter Syndrome," which has sparked much discussion, scholar and author Lan Pei-chia's new work "Becoming Second Generation," which Yang Shuang-tzu, author of "Taiwan Wandering Records," publicly thanked for her enlightenment, and "Island of Great Winds," by Xu Ya-ting, Zhang Xin-wen, and Huang Yong-guang, which documents the Lo-Sheng Sanatorium, have all been shortlisted.
In the Children and Young Adult Book Award category, Yu Mi-chen's "If You Were Sending a Letter," which recently won the first Golden Picture Book Award, and Ni Kou-Suo-Ke-Lu-Man and Mao Yu's "Donggu Safi: The Mountain Child Diang," which won the Taipei International Book Fair Award, are competing in the same group.
In the Book Editing Award, Zhuang Rui-lin, the driving force behind "Taiwan Wandering Records," has been nominated for her book "Traveling in the Treetops." She will compete for the award with Zhuang Shu-ching, editor of "Chasing a Stream," another work from Spring Hill Publishing, and Wu Xiao-le, author and editor of "They Thought No One Was Listening: Taiwan's First Anthology on Induced Abortion."
In the Book Illustration Award category, in addition to Huang Chun-ming, Gao Peng-xiang, who won "The Most Beautiful Books in the World" organized by the Leipzig Book Fair Foundation this year, has also been shortlisted for his award-winning book "Taiwan Letterpress Era." He will compete with Zhou Jian-xin, illustrator of "Children from Qing Shui," for his "Grandpa's Days Paper," and Chen Pei-chih, a two-time finalist for the Angoulême International Comics Festival's "Révélation" award, for her work "When I Went to School."

"Xunfeng" magazine, a multiple award winner, has once again been nominated for the Magazine Design Award. "Human Fish Poetry Life Magazine," a literary magazine that won an award last year, has also been consecutively nominated. Chu An-min, winner of the Special Contribution Award at the 45th Golden Tripod Awards, has been nominated for the Magazine Editor Award this year.
