Hughies Tie-Breakers Needed - Deadline Extended



Ladies we have sooo many ties that we REALLY need your help so if you haven't voted yet PLEASE do so today we MUST break these ties!



The Hughie Awards process has two parts - first comes the NOMINATIONS part; then, once the nominations have been received and tallied, the FINAL VOTING takes place. The NOMINATIONS part of the Hughies process is important, because ONLY the TOP THREE nominees in each category will be eligible for the FINAL VOTING.



Rules for Nominations




1) Some of you have already received a Nominations Form by email. If you have not received one, just click on my name above to get a blank email form. Then highlight the categories listed below, and copy and paste them on the email. Type in your nominations and send this e-mail to me.

2) You may nominate as many books/authors/characters in each category as you want. You do NOT have to make nominations in every category.

3) The books must have been published or reissued in print in 2011.

4) Please include the titles of the books and the authors' names.

5) The DIVA OF ROMANCE! category differs from the others in that THE WINNER OF THIS CATEGORY WILL BE DETERMINED ENTIRELY BY HOW MANY NOMINATIONS SHE RECEIVES!!! In other words, we will not be voting on the top three nominees in the VOTING part of the Hughies process. The NOMINATIONS will be tallied, and the author with the most NOMINATIONS will be the winner. The winner will be announced at same the time that the other winners are announced. To qualify for the DIVA OF ROMANCE! award, an author should be recognized as a leader in the genre, and must have an impressive career of at least 10 years with at least 10 books published. The previous winners in this category, Nora Roberts, Karen Marie Moning, Liz Carlyle and Lisa Kleypas, may not be considered. As with the other categories, you may nominate as many authors who qualify as you wish! Remember, the author with the MOST NOMINATIONS will win this category!
