—Lorehaven on Jul 8, 2022

The Governess of Greenmere

It Is Time To Vote

Voting begins today! Please read these instructions carefully, then proceed to the ballot by clicking on the link below. Voting ends July 17.

Voting begins today!

CSAbutton 2013After weeks of reader nominations and more weeks reading those nominations and then the seven-day countdown, it is finally time to vote for the finalists in the 2013 Clive Staples Award for Christian Speculative Fiction.

Please read these instructions carefully, then proceed to the ballot by clicking on the link below. Voting ends July 17.

CSA is not a popularity contest. The award has been established to recognize the work of fiction which readers designate as the previous year’s best. Consequently, voters must adhere to these basic rules.

  • You MUST have read at least two of the nominations.
  • You may vote ONLY ONCE for a first, a second, and a third choice.
  • Your second choice and your third choice may not be the same as your first choice.
  • Your vote for your second choice and your third choice may not be for the same book.
  • You may mark the “none of these” option if you do not have a second or a third choice.
  • Second and third choice options will only be considered in the case of a tie.
  • The top five titles will be designated as finalists, and readers will vote from those to determine the 2013 CSA winner.

Voting will close midnight (Pacific time), July 17, 2013.

    Voted! But it was hard to narrow it down to three – since I’d read most of the list!

      Pauline, I agree that it’s a tough decision. Lots of good books! But you’re the perfect voter–one who has read a majority of those nominated. The readers who are most familiar with the choices have the best perspective. Thanks for taking part.

      I don’t know if I made it clear or not, but by voting you are automatically eligible to vote in the finals.

    I’ve only read two of the reader nominations. One was excellent and the other was very poor. I’m not sure how it even ended up on the list.

    The link doesn’t work for me no matter how I put it in… I can’t read the nominations. 😛 Can someone re-post a list or something? Please? 😀

      Gypsie, a complete list of the nominees is here. But to which non-working link do you refer? Until just recently, SpeculativeFaith.com was down, so perhaps you refer to something related to that.

      Which brings up this vital question: I’d love to know how you managed to post a comment at noon today, when the site was still down. Gypsie magic?
