Many of us have seen the Young Adult “readers choice” award contests going around the blogsphere. They’re fun, and they’re interesting…but, sadly, contemporary stories often get buried beneath the other genres.
For that reason, my group blog For the Love of Contemporary is holding its very own CONTEMPORARY AWARDS. You can play along September 3rd through the 17th!
Categories include:
- Favorite boy
- Favorite girl
- Favorite couple
- Story that made you laugh loudest
- Story that made you cry hardest
- Most original and unique contemporary plot
- Favorite boy point-of-view book
- Favorite dark contemporary
- Favorite LGBT
- Favorite author
- Favorite 2012 release
How it’s going to work:
Today: Enter your nominations for the Contemporary Awards–up to 5 in each category–as soon as possible!
Thursday, Sept 6th: Drop in for our first giveaway, which includes not one, not two, but several of Stephanie Campbell’s books–IN PRINT! *Note: you MUST have submitted nominations for the Contemporary Awards to be eligible for the giveaway.
Saturday, Sept 8th: Nominations close at MIDNIGHT. This gives us Sunday to tally all the nominations.
