[QUOTE="Cthulhu's Librarian, post: 2942550, member: 11064"] I agree that we need definitions, but I will say that when the judges decided on the definitions for this years categories, we thought we had made it clear enough what was expected for a given category. We wanted them to be broad enough to include all titles that could reasonably fit, while being narrow enough to eliminate things that didn't fit. We went back and forth on categories, definitions,a nd acceptable wording wuite a bit, and in the end, we provided what we thought were useful, reasonable definitions that we would be comfortable working within. Obviously, those definitions, while we were all in agreement (along with the Board fo Directors), were not found to be specific enough for some people. There is a balance point, and I am confident that it can be reached. However, one thing that I will point out, the judges have always, and will always, have the right to move titles into or remove them from any categories. If, upon reading, they find that a title fits into a category where it was not entered, but they are all in agreement, that title can be moved into that category. [/QUOTE]
