The Firecracker Alternative Book Awards were established in 1996 and were presented through 2002. The Firecracker Awards returned in 2015, "to celebrate books and magazines that make a significant contribution to our literary culture and the publishers that strive to introduce important voices to readers far and wide."[1]
Neither version of the Firecracker books awards are related to an identically named award given to "women photographers born or working in Europe."[2]
