Round 2 is getting closer by the minute!

══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══✦══

Please consider being a judge for Round 2! Especially if your book hasn't moved on to the finals. This is a great chance to stay involved with the awards, have a chance for another prize, and discover fabulous stories.

As a judge for Round 2, you will be reading books from all categories. So you must be comfortable reading all our offered genres. I will be assigning judges to a group of participants at random.

If your book continues to Round 2 then you cannot become a judge. You are welcome to apply since we have not announced the winners of Round 1 yet! However, if your book is chosen to continue in the awards then you will be dropped as a judge for this round. 

I hope to have at least SIX judges for this round. 

Judges will have a new and super secret criteria to evaluate books. I am expanding upon our previous Judging Criteria for this second round to make sure that the BEST stories make it to the top. Judges will have a spreadsheet to record their scores.

Please apply!

Judges are the backbone of every contest and we need your help!
