In this cycle, we'll have 8 categories open. Most of them will be accepting up to 10 books. However, because we're aware of a very high demand for Fantasy genre in contests like this one, the Fantasy category will have 15 spots instead of 10. 

As we accept the entries, we'll also try our best to update the list below as quickly as we can to make sure you have the accurate information before proceeding to fill out the form.

However, please keep in mind that we'll need the minimum of 3 entries per category so that we could start judging the books in that category. If a category doesn't meet those requirements by the final submission deadline, and we still have open slots in other category, we might ask the participants if they'd be alright with us moving their book somewhere else (as long as it fits the category we're moving it to, of course).
