Rules To Enter The Awards
To enter this award, you and your book must meet the following criteria:
The book must be self-published or published by a small, independent or academic press.
The book must be predominantly in English and published in 2024, 2025 or 2026.
We feel the job of The Wishing Shelf Awards is to judge books written and/or illustrated by 'humans', and not 'A I systems'. As such, books 'predominantly' written and/or illustrated by A I will not be eligible for entry.
You must send your book(s) to us between the 1st January, 2026 and the 31st December, 2026. The judges' decision is final and will not be open to appeal.
