The Global eBook Awards are open to authors, publishers, illustrators and photographers.

What is eligible?

Judging

eBooks are evaluated as objectively as possible with scores on several items. Judging panels will consider cover design, content quality, layout when not straight text, originality, etc. Judges are industry professionals with experience in eBooks and in the category they evaluate. Decisions of the judges are final.
