Where Legacy Is Celebrated
Each year, Hasmark hosts the Award of Excellence—an inspiring event that honors the authors and creators who have made a powerful impact through their work. This prestigious recognition shines a spotlight on those who have not only achieved extraordinary success, but have uplifted and empowered others through their message.
Inside the Hall of Honor, we showcase the brilliance of our past recipients—their stories, their milestones, and their unwavering strength. This wing is a tribute to their achievements and an invitation to all creators to rise, share, and be recognized.
Is Proud to Announce our Annual
Hasmark Publishing International is proud to announce our 7th ANNUAL AWARD of EXCELLENCE event, which will be held in October.
The Hasmark Publishing International Award of Excellence is an annual award presented to six of our authors who show a willingness to learn and think in innovative and creative ways to market their books. There are five category winners and one overall winner who receive the Hasmark Awards of Excellence.
These authors go above and beyond what is expected of them to become International Best Sellers and are wonderful role models within the Hasmark Book Family.
This year, we are also presenting the very first Trailblazer in Edutainment Award, for the author who’s work transcends the traditional, transforming stories into experiences and learning into inspiration.
This years’ 7th Annual Award of Excellence Event will be virtual and will be scheduled in October 24th 2025.
