In about a month’s time, the ERF will be announcing the finalist list of the LLL 2013 Awards. Online voting will begin then and run until June 30. The winners will be announced at the World Congress in ER in Seoul next September.
We conduct the shortlisting processes with uttermost care and rigour and we are proud to inform you that this year we got closer to judge equality than ever before. All categories have female and male judges. Three of the categories had a NEST and a Non-NEST judge. Besides that, since the World Congress, we have added seven new judges, so we have been able to expand the jury to include more people and more nationalities.
We are very excited about this year’s entries to the Awards. They come in a wide range of genres by various publishers and authors, and the quality of the writing is giving our judges a hard time. We hope you will enjoy reading them as much as we are.
