Descriptions

The RITA recognized excellence in published romance novels and novellas and was retired in 2020.
The RITA® Awards were issued annually by the Romance Writers of America® (RWA), a nonprofit trade association for romance writers, chartered in 1981.
The RITA® award was formerly known as the "Golden Medallion" (it was a gold pendant). The award was renamed and redesigned in 1990 for the RWA’s tenth anniversary, resulting in a golden statuette named after RWA's first president, Rita Clay Estrada. (English, Award granter)
Now known as the  RITA® Award, the Golden Medallion  Award was bestowed by the Romance Writers of America® (RWA) organization from 1982 through 1989. See "RITA Award" under the CK: Awards category for subsequent recipients (1990-current). (English, Member-written)
