There is a general email that goes out to the judges not chosen shortly after that and the judges are announced on Sept 15.<br /><br />When you <a href="http://www.cybils.com/information-for-bloggers/judging-overview" rel="nofollow">apply</a> there is a portion of the application where you can indicate your preference to be a Round 1 or Round 2 judge.<br /><br />Round 1 begins October 1 when the nominations start to come in. As a round 1 judge you are given access to a database where you immediately begin marking books as read and start putting ones on hold at your library you still need to read. This round lasts until Christmas. As a first round judge, you are expected to read as many nominated books as you can (or at least enough of them you can comment-DNFing is totally okay). In the days after Christmas your group decides on six books to shortlist and those are announced on New Year's Day.<br /><br />If you are a Round Two panelist your work starts on New Year's Day when that shortlist is announced. You read all six books and your group decides the winner which is announced on Valentine's Day. <br /><br />Hope that covers it for you. Let me know if you have other questions.

I'm guessing I can't with all the BEA books I have to review. Hmmm.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370486039531015541noreply@blogger.com
