The purpose of the RITA Award was to promote excellence in the romance genre by recognizing outstanding published novels and novellas.

It was named for the RWAs first president, Rita Clay Estrada.

It was not awarded in 2020, and was replaced by the Vivian Award, to be awarded for the first time in 2021.

Entrants had to supply five printed books by the posted deadline.

Each title was judged by five separate judges during the preliminary round.

Finalists were announced in mid-March and winners were announced at the annual award ceremony, held on the last day of the RWAs National Conference, which was normally held in July.

Winning authors received a gold statuette while book editors received a plaque.

Instead, all finalists were about white women, of which all but one fell in love with British aristocrats.

In response, the RWA board noted that less than half of 1 of finalists were by black authors, of which none had ever won the award, and gave a commitment to improve the diversity of the award.

The board issued an apology after the 2019 finalists again underrepresented persons of color or LGBTQ persons.

A new award, the Vivian, named after Black RWA founder Vivian Stephens, was launched in late 2020.
