2015yacoverchoiceawards

[quote]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) for the best cover design in each categories. It’s the only time judging a book by its cover is highly encouraged.[/quote]

And so, we begin! It’s nominations time for the 2015 YA Book Cover Choice Awards!

NOMINATIONS TIME

Please take the time and look through the gallery of 2015 books. I know people will nominate for the more well-known books, but there are other great ones that aren’t as popular. I want all covers to have an equal chance!

Tips: 

  • Open up this nominations post and the 2015 book gallery in separate tabs, so that you can write down the covers in whatever category you deem appropriate easily on the nominations form.)
  • Have the 2015 book gallery loaded out, so you can scroll all the way to the bottom.
  • Sent aside an hour or so to nominate book covers because this will take A LOT of time. (I’m not kidding.)

    Omg this was so hard. Especially the best dressed category because all the dresses this year looks the same to me. My brain and eyes are sorely fried. I might have voted Vengeance Road for everything bc that cover is so boss in every way. Yes. Vengeance Road for everything.

    Aaaah! I love those awards! I know that people always say not to judge books by it’s cover, but I have to admit to that the probability of me buying a book being a lot higher if I like the cover. Otherwise I often don’t even look at he blurb. I like the fonts that are currently used – the ones that look like they are written by pencil or on a chalk board!

    This was really tough! I spent at least an hour voting. I admit to changing my answers for some, even with 4 options it was really hard to narrow it down. This is such a fun idea. I can’t wait to see the results.

    Picking one cover for every category was really hard. I think I will go back later and add some more, but this already took me about 30 minutes, haha.

      Oh Annie! I linked up to a 2015 YA Gallery, so there’s no need to go onto Goodreads! (It’s underlined in the post.) :D

    I am SOOOO glad this is back! And I totally did not just spend, like, an hour choosing my covers. IT WAS SO HARD. There were actually more “disappointed in this cover” covers than I was allowed to nominate. EEP.

    But I found some super gorgeous ones I’d never seen before, and nominated those in their respective categories so YAY :D

    (Also, I nominated the Aussie Lair of Dreams as the best foreign, but it’s not in your gallery :O).

    I’m so excited to see what everyone loves! (And was disappointed in LOL.)

    This was SO FUN and also so hard. I won’t even admit to how long this took me, because it is an embarrassingly long amount of time. I was analyzing my choices, and I think I got carried away ;) Have you ever seen the “FInal Four” episode of How I Met Your Mother? With Barney and the women, and he narrows down the pool like with the Final Four? That’s what I felt like hahaha.

    SDFGHJKL;SSDJ the best thing about the year ending? THIS FANTASTIC COVER AWARDS THING. i’m such a cover snob and participating in last year’s voting was so much fun! it was nice to go through most of this year’s covers (through that spectacular tumblr blog you conjured) and shamelessly judge/fangirl over the art. i’m excited to see how this turns out!! <333

    This is such a great award!! I didn’t participate last year, because well, I wasn’t aware this existed!! *shame on me, I know*. Alright, so I’m definitely going to browse all the book covers right now and cast my votes! :D

    This was so much fun! I can’t wait to see what everyone voted for! I’m the most excited for the best cover and illustrated covers! It was hard to vote, because there were so many great covers this year! I do wish there was an ugliest cover category!

    THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA. I swear, covers are getting better every year. I do love the minimalist ones :)

    This is such a great idea! It was so hard to choose for a lot of the categories, especially best overall and best typography! I’m looking forward to seeing if what I chose makes it to the next round :)
