Official Announcement of the Chanticleer International Book Awards 2019 Semi-Finalists (the 2019 #CIBAs)
We have just completed the final sweep of all seventeen divisions of the 2019 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards submissions. All of the divisions’ Semi-Finalists have been announced.
Each one of the Semi-Finalists has been notified by email from the president of Chanticleer Reviews, Kathryn “Kiffer” Brown at KBrown@ChantiReviews.com.
Additionally, all 17 divisions’ Semi-Finalists have been posted on the Chanticleer Reviews website (see links below), have been sent out in e-newsletters to our entire subscriber list, and have been announced on Chanticleer’s Facebook page and on Twitter social media platforms.
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 interactions with the judges.
The works that made it to the 2019 SEMI-FINALIST are currently in the final rounds of judging to determine 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 17 divisions’ grand prize winners.
An Important Announcement from KIFFER – the Chanticleer Authors Conference has been postponed until September 3 -6, 2020 (from the original date of April 16-19, 2020) due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) situation. This postponement was decided on March 12, 2020. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we are scrambling with the rescheduling and the logistics. All registrants have been notified by individual emails. We will post updates as we know more.
We are currently working on the schedule of CAC events and CIBA announcements for the new dates. Thank you for our patience and understanding during this unique event that is presenting new challenges on many fronts for everyone.
All Semi-Finalists in attendance at the 2020 Chanticleer Authors Conference that is scheduled to take place April 16 -19, 2020 will be recognized. CAC 20 is the sponsor of the Chanticleer International Book Awards banquet and ceremony. The First Place Category Winners and Grand Prize winners for all seventeen divisions will be announced at the banquet and ceremony that will take place the evening of Saturday, April 18, 2020. The Overall Grand Prize Winner will be announced and presented with the cash prize of $1,000 USD on that exciting evening.
(We’ve added a division, so standby for the new graphic — thanks!).
