And category nominations are now closed until next year!
We ended up with six unique categories for the year (Biographies & Memoirs, Non-Fiction, Youth Fiction, Open, Time Period, Region), which just so happens to be the exact same amount as previous years. It is also almost the same categories as last year except that Youth Fiction will be replacing Contemporary.
This leaves us with three extra months for the upcoming year (the three that are usually Rotating) that we will fill with one additional Time Period which finishes that category out naturally, and two additional Region with the last being a finale with the final five regional options all eligible to have books nominated from.
I'm looking forward to the year and thanks to everyone who nominated.
