[quote]Before I talk about how you can vote, I shall talk about what the YA Book Cover Choice Awards is. Very simple. I love book covers, especially YA ones, and was sadden that there weren’t any posts celebrating the awesomeness of them. The YA Book Cover Choice Awards (aka YABCCAwards) aim to honor all the wonderful (and not-so wonderful) book covers that were published in the past year. It will be nominated and voted by readers (à la Goodreads Choice Awards and the *Book Shimmy* Awards).[/quote]
We’ve finally reached the voting process! YEEEEEEEE.
Sorry for the belatedness of this post. I had meant to get it up right after Christmas, but I got sidetracked because y’know, family, the holiday spirit, and all. And then having to narrow all the choices down to ten and putting together the images and figuring out html coding, eeeeeeeeeek. But voila! Better late than never, they say!
I put a lot of effort in creating this, so you better appreciate it. ;)

VOTED :D
Sweetnesss! Thanks, Mel! <3
This was so much fun!! Thanks for putting all the time and effort into making this awesome awards. I loved getting to vote for all the pretty covers, because who doesn’t love judging a book by its cover?
Some of these categories were a lot harder to vote for than I thought they would be! There’s too many pretties.
This was so much fun! Thank you for organizing this, can’t wait to see the results!
Missie @ A Flurry of Ponderings
Enter my blog birthday giveaway!
This was really fun! I even added a few of the books to my TBR after seeing the beautiful covers.
Voted! What an awesome idea, too! :)
Awh yeah, all of my nominations made it *dances* GO FORTH AND WIN MY PRETTIES
I voted :) Great choices, it was difficult to decide sometimes!
Voted :)
I loved this, it was really fun! I’m excited for the results!
This was so much fun and I discovered some new beauties through this that I’ll have to check out! Thank you :)
I’m awake and I voted!!!
Oh my gosh this was such fun!! I felt like a true rebel judging a book solely by it’s cover!
Yay, love this!
Voted.
Wow! Great and unique categories, I think this was so much fun! Fantastic idea!
YES! I love these :) Awesome categories and so much fun having to decide!!!
The last category… THREE OPTIONS IS UNFAIR AND YOU KNOW IT, CEE. *weeps* I’m not lying when I say I spent at least 10 minutes contemplating which three covers to pick out of the 10 listed there. x_x Looking forward to the finale!
The only downside to this was that now there are more books I want to read! LOL
