Rules: Just like with the Academy Awards, there are a few guidelines. The books must be YA, and any book you nominate must have been published between January 1, 2012 and February 22, 2013. If you’re not sure, just throw your nominations out there and I’ll double-check.
Next week, February 15, we’ll vote on the nominations. I’ll put up the books/characters with the most nominations, and your votes will narrow the choices down to four in each category.
February 22 we’ll do the final vote for the winners.
So, please put your nominations from those categories in comments. Feel free to make as many nominations as you want, and make your case for the voting!
