Welcome to the first and only poll this year.
Since there are four entries, I figured there wasn't much sense in breaking the polls down into smaller ones. This is the only poll, but there will be an extended time frame of a week to make your decisions.
The Reader's Choice and Runner-up winners will be declared when the poll ends. The other judges and I will meet and analyze the entries very carefully during this time. We should have a winner for the Judge's Choice and Runner-up award about the time when the final poll ends, or shortly thereafter. We will also prepare a backup in case the public elect our choice. However, if the Reader's runner-up is our selection, they will still be the winner of the Judge's Choice award and the Reader's runner-up will move onto the next closest. If there is a tie...Well, there will be a tie. I'll see what I can do if that happens.
When you read each submission, if you have not already, please take a moment to stop when you finish and write the author a little note how and if you liked it or some constructive criticism they could benefit from. I know that if you are an author, you may want the same done for you. As a judge, I will withhold my comments until after the contest is over to those who request it.
I wish the entrants the best of luck. Happy reading, everyone.
