Award Winners
We've never done one quite like this. It can be any award so long as it's literary. This allows for a variety of nominations including international translations and covers a long period of time including some public domain options.
Detailed nominating and voting guidelines can be found
here. Basically, nominations are open for four days and each person may nominate up to
three literary selections which will go automatically to the vote. Voting then opens for four days and each person votes by post, receives a number of votes equal to the number of nominations minus one and may give each nomination up to two votes. Any questions, feel free to ask.
We hope that you will read the selection with us and join in the discussion.
