The Rainbow Awards: State of Art
I'm really happy to let you know that today I received the 100th submission for the Rainbow Awards, and there are still 3 month and half for the eligibility period.
The numbers are really amazing: 66 judges (see all their names here: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/1011930.html), 100 submissions (current submissions here: http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/993937.html) and 31 publishers! If you consider that last year we had 20 publishers and the submission period is still on, I think we have a proof that this year Rainbow Awards are really exciting.
And now the summary of the submissions:
Coming of Age / Young Adult
Gay: 5 submissions
Lesbian: 0 submissions
Bisexual / Transgender: 0 submissions
Total Submissions: 5

Remember that, for a Category to "survive", I need at least 5 submissions in the Sub-Genre (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual / Transgender); if I don't reach the 5 submissions in the Sub-Genre, I will compact the submissions in the Genre (Coming of Age / Young Adult, Contemporary, Fantasy, Historical, Mystery / Thriller, Paranormal / Horror, Sci-Fic / Futuristic); if I don't reach the 5 submissions neither in this way, the Category will not be eligible for this year Rainbow Awards.
