STATUS of the Judging Rounds for all Sixteen Divisions of the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards – the 2018 CIBAs – Official Notification to the CIBA 2018 Semi-Finalists
We have just completed the final sweep of all of the 2018 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards submissions. All of the divisions have announced the authors and titles that have moved forward to the SEMI-FINALIST positions.
We always check for stragglers, the inevitable stray, and late ratings coming in from judges (they do this as a labor of love for books and authors), and other anomalies that are just the nature of tracking the thousands of entries that we receive despite our state of the art integrated software program for tracking, DRM, and interaction with the judges.
The works that made it to the 2018 SEMI-FINALIST are currently in the final rounds of judging to discover which ones will move forward to the limited First Place Categories and the coveted grand prize position for each division. The Overall Grand Prize for Best Book will be determined from the 16 divisions’ grand prize winners.
Here are the links to the 2018 Chanticleer International Book Awards SEMI-FINALISTS for All 16 Divisions. The CIBA ceremony and banquet will take place on Saturday evening of the 2019 Chanticleer Authors Conference that will take place April 25 – 28, 2019 in Bellingham, Wash.
These are the OFFICIAL and FINAL LISTINGS for the 2018 CIBAs SEMI-FINALISTS. The next notification will announce the First Place Category Winners and the Grand Prize Winners and will go out on April 30, 2019.
