As mentioned at the end of the nomination form, the last day for the nominations is May 31st, 2019.

Yes, you can. You can also nominate others' books. However, you cannot nominate more than three books in the same category/genre. An author or a reader can nominate a book.
3. Will the judging be fair ?
Yes, the judging will be fair. It will be a cumulative of score given by a panel of judges. If at all, any of the judges' books are nominated in the category, the particular judge cannot give any scores to that category.

Yes, you can. Just send us a PM and we can talk about it.
