Reader Views 2012 Literary Awards

3 Off the Tee:  Make it Happen, finalist in Body/Mind/Spirit

2012 Literary Awards Finalists and Regional/Global Winners This is the list of finalists from which the winners will be chosen. In most cases there are three finalists. If less than three, it's because all other entries were under the score cut-off range. If there are more than three it means there were ties in the category. We are going to let the final judges decided how to award them. The winner/placement list will be available March 25th or sooner. We will announce the winners as soon as the final judging is completed. Finalists Children/Teen/YA Toddler to 5 - Early Reader (6-8): Santa’s Sugar, Jane Gerencher Gimme-Jimmy, Sherrill S.
