Note:
- Multi-genre award established in 2007 and named after Orson F. Whitney, an early LDS leader and author.
- Nominations are open to the public. Once a work receives at least five nominations, the Whitney Awards Committee verifies eligibility and narrows nominations to no more than five per category. An invitation-only group of authors, bookstore owners/managers, distributors, critics, and other industry professionals, collectively known as the Whitney Award Academy, then vote on the finalists.
- Only genre works (or non-genre works by genre authors) are listed, so some years for some awards may only have finalists listed.
- "Best YA / Children's" was changed to "Best Youth Fiction" in 2008.
- "Best Youth Fiction" was split into "Best Youth Fiction - General" and "Best Youth Fiction - Speculative" in 2010.
- "Best Novel in Youth Fiction" was added in 2012.
- "Best Youth Fiction - Speculative" changed to "Best Young Adult - Speculative" in 2012.
- "Best Youth Fiction - General" changed to "Best Young Adult - General" in 2012.
