LIGHTHOUSE BOOK AWARDS CONTEST CLOSED
FYI, I sent this out to our NE Florida Region this morning.
Those of you who waited until the last minute to enter the Lighthouse Book Awards are out of luck. Contest coordinator Terri Ridgell informed me yesterday we were close to our maximum limit of 80 entries, and would surely surpass it today. Any entries arriving after that will be returned unopened.
This is an amazing, and unexpected, turnout for a first-time contest, and I want to thank everyone for their support and wish you the best of luck. We will now distribute the entries among the preliminary judges. Remember, the top three finalists in each category will be forwarded to the acquiring editors in those categories for final ranking. Our finalists will be announced at the May 19 conference.
If you haven’t registered for the conference, you might want to do so soon, as we are limited to around 75 people by the size of the meeting rooms. For more information, go to http://www.windrusher.com/Conference.html.
