Sign up here to be a judge in the 2022 New England Readers’ Choice Contest. All judges must be romance readers, librarians, booksellers, and/or unpaid bloggers who are at least 18 years old. Published romance authors and paid reviewers and bloggers are not permitted to judge the contest.

Each judge must commit to judging 3 books in e-book or in print format (the majority of entries are e-book format). Judges must be located in the continental United States in order to receive print books, but may be located anywhere in the world to receive e-books. Judges may request additional books to judge after they have submitted scores for all previously received books, up to a ten book limit.

The books you judge are yours to keep.

To sign up, please complete the form below. You must accept the terms and conditions applicable to being a contest judge before you can submit the form.
