The Botticelli Awards 2021

Rules📜

I understand how most people feel about rules, but these are essential. In order to be accepted, you must follow all of the rules! I will be checking.

Don't forget to vote so our awards can reach more people! :D

Also, please be patient! I have other things going on in life, and my life does not revolve around this. Thank you.

2. Add this book to your private and public library. This will help you keep updated on any news as well as promote this book for others to join!

3. Give a shoutout on your message board. The more people that join, the quicker we can beginning the judging process!

4. The entry must be in English.

5. No bribes are allowed! If any judges receive a bribe from a participant, please contact me immediately. The briber will be eliminated from the awards.

6. Judges must be comfortable with mature and LGBTQ; this is so that we can include a variety of books and help promote all types of novels :D

7. Once the accepted books and judges are assigned, please permanent follow your judge. And judges, please permanent follow the users you are judging.

9. Two books are allowed to be submitted by each user, but only if they are in different genres. EXAMPLE: if you have two novels that are both romance and new adult, submit one book in each.

10. If you wish to be a judge and are also a participant, that's great! You just cannot apply to be a judge in the same genre as your book is in.

11. The password is your favorite artist or painting.

13. Books must have under 15k reads. We are hoping to help undiscovered readers :D
