Subject: IPPY Awards 2010 Entrant Update #4 - Finalist Results - 5/5/10
Greetings and thank you for entering the 2010 Independent Publisher Book Awards!
Judging is in full swing, and we’ve just ridden out a wind storm this afternoon that
knocked our power out for a few hours. Come to think of it, we were knocked out by a
lightning storm last night! But our judges are dedicated, willing to work in all kinds of
weather, and now we’re back online and can send you the first set of finalist results.
Sorry this is going out so late, and thanks for your patience!
Today we’ll announce finalists in all National categories except these: General Fiction,
Short Story Fiction, Young Adult Fiction, Romance, Inspirational/Spiritual, New Age,
Self-Help and Best Book Marketing. (See results below – I won’t get them posted online
until tomorrow.)
So, tomorrow we’ll announce the remaining National category finalists and get a start on
announcing the Regional finalists. All national and regional finalists will be named by the
weekend, I promise! Outstanding Books of the Year nominees will be named among the
categories finalists for now, and then designated as Outstanding Books of the Year
when we announce the gold, silver and bronze medal designations, starting late next
week. So, all finalists announced this week will receive gold, silver or bronze medals.
We appreciate your support of our 14th annual IPPY Awards during these tough
economic times, and hope this is a sign that you recognize the promotional value of
entering the "World’s Largest Book Awards Contest." We’re doing all we can to make it
the "world’s best" book awards contest.
On Tuesday, May 25th, from 6-9 pm, we'll present the 14th Annual IPPY Awards at a
big bash in New York, kicking off this year's BookExpo America convention. More
details to follow, but the event will be held at Providence NYC, 311 W. 57th St. (Anyone
who attended last year’s party will recognize it’s the same venue, and we hope you
enjoyed it as much as we did.) Great food and drink, quality networking, and photo op’s
galore. Medalists will receive a medal, a certificate, and 20 awards seals. Those
medalists not attending the New York event will receive the above items by mail, in a
packet including the event program, press release, etc.
You may have heard about Barbra Streisand, author of an upcoming home decorating
book, will be the keynote speaker at BookExpo, and that event starts at 6 pm, same as
ours. So, if you plan to go see Babs, keep in mind our actual medal presentation will
likely occur from about 6:45 pm to 8:00 pm, and we'll still be set up and doing photos
until 9:00 pm.
Stay tuned for the next update, and please let me know if you’d like any email
addresses added to the update contact list.
Thank you for your participation in IPPY Awards 2010 and congratulations on your great
work!
