How'd you set the entry limits? Entries didn't close til the 15th, but there have been several rounds already.. I noticed, of course, because Tangled Web isn't in here at all and it is entered as a book. Though with all the gorgeous covers... I wasn't expecting that cover to make a later round.
I have that same dichotomy with Anne Cain's work. I love her realistic paintings but don't care for the yaoi-style stuff. (I'm sure for some it's the other way around.)
Tangled Web was in round 1 and if I remember well also round 2. I think it didn't pass to round 3. Yes indeed there are many covers this year and unfortunately there were some "excellent" losses.
For the literary contest yes, all the books are in contest until the end. The Cover Contest is a fun competition, a popularity contest to allow people to "partecipate" to the Rainbow Awards while judges read the books.
