Oceanside, California. The worldwide ebook awards presented by the ebook academy are now accepting submissions for their inaugural annual awards. The competition will be open for submissions until December 31, and winners will be notified on February 1. The nomination process for the ebook awards is open to any author or publisher who wishes to submit an ebook for consideration. The six categories for the ebook prize include fiction and non-fiction for adults, fiction and non-fiction for young adults and children, fiction and non-fiction for ebook cover design, and ebook video trailers. According to Andrea Glass, who serves as the Dean of Education at the Ebook School, “we first designed these prizes to provide our students at the ebook academy the exposure to potential ebook readers.” “you may publish the finest ebook in the world, but if nobody knows about it, then that’s a loss for both the readers and the author.” According to bruce fischer, dean of marketing, “our judges have specific criteria they look for, such as writing quality (including style and clean editing), effective and engaging communication, ebook format/layout, cover, uniqueness, creativity, valuable content, and overall impressions.” [Citation needed] “our judges have specific criteria they look for,” “we consider everyone who applies for an award to be a winner just by applying, and they all get awards as well.” Each participant who submits an entry for consideration in the International Ebook Awards will be given a digital honorable mention sticker as well as a press release that will be distributed. The six winners will each get a prize package valued at more than $500, which includes a digital sticker, a comment from an award judge, a book review, social media coverage, a press release and distribution, and membership in the ebook academy for one year. According to glass, “the vast majority of writers believe that producing and releasing ebooks is typically simpler than selling them.” “because of this, we provide a variety of marketing packages on our website at www.theebookacademy.com. It is for this reason that we are offering exposure for all of the contestants in the ebook awards. The entry period will close with the stroke of midnight on December 31st, 2013. The cost to enter is $47 per entry, and each participant is only allowed two submissions total. Go to www.theebookacademy.com/awards for further details and to fill out an entry form.
