Point-Of-Contact Ebook Registration
You MUST complete this form to be entered into the 2013 Global Ebook Awards. YOU are the Point-Of-Contact. Emails regarding the competition should go to this person (YOU). Please give us your name and contact information so that we can stay in touch. All bold fields are REQUIRED.
It is not required, that entrants in the Global Ebook Awards have their ebooks in the Smashword’s system for this contest. If your ebook is not at Smashwords, please email a PDF, epub or Kindle file to Becky@parapublishing.com after you have completed your entry.
For each ebook entry you have purchased (whether it be the same title with multiple categories or multiple titles with different categories), please provide the Smashwords coupon code (if you have one) so that judges can pick up your ebook at 100% discount in whatever format they prefer. If you need some help accessing these codes, please click here.
If you are entering the Best Ebook Cover or Best Ebook Trailer categories, please email either a jpeg of the cover of your Ebook or the URL of your trailer (must be on YouTube) to Becky@parapublishing.com at your earliest convenience.
Only categories that have been purchased will be considered.
I’m pretty sure the “smashwords access code” means you use Smashwords’ Dashboard to create a Coupon for the book (probably has to be 100% discount; I set the expiration date for the end of 2012), and the coupon’s code is what you enter along with the book title. The Awards site has an FAQ page http://globalebookawards.com/why-does-global-ebook-awards-require-smashwords/ that explains the need for Smashwords and its coupons, but the entry instructions don’t always say that’s the code they’re looking for.
Thanks again for pointing this out, I really appreciate your feedback and will make all of the verbiage more clear everywhere it is mentioned.
I’ve entered my book (Carrier-of-Bones) in the contest in the Teen Lit. category. Part of the info wanted was the Smashword Access Code. That is not explained, and I don’t know what you want. Can you clarify?
I have also created a coupon, but it is at 50% discount for interested buyers. How can I fix it so that the judges can download my book at 100% so they can read it and judge it?
I noticed that Rene Chang had the same question.

The Smashwords coupon code (access code) is explained in the instructions for entering page. At the top of the add your eBook page there is a click here (if you have questions about these codes) link which will take you back to this page. You will have to create another coupon code at 100% for the judges, please have this code go through the end of July 2012. Unfortunately, once the coupon code is created it can’t be changed. I will be the one that has the 100% coupon code and will be giving it only to the judges who will be reading your book.
I also never received a confirmation/registration email. I received a confirmation that my credit card was charged, but did not receive an email with a link to ‘confirm registration’ as required after clicking on ‘Enter Ebooks Now’ .
Deadline is today, so I am concerned that my titles will not be entered… Please advise.
Thank You!
I received the confirmation email that is generated from you clicking on the confirmation link that is within the email you receive from MailChip after you click on “Enter Ebooks Now”, so I’m not sure what link you are referring to. You are completely entered and I have all of the registration information that I need.
I have no idea what the coupon number is and I also did not get a confirmation email.
PLEASE ADVISE or I guess I will cancel my paypal order
Thanks
The coupon code is something you generate if your book is at Smashwords so the judges can access it that way in order to judge it. If your book isn’t at Smashwords, you can email either a PDF, epub or Kindle file of your book that I can email to the judges. If you have any other questions you can email be directly at becky@parapublishing.com.
Please be sure to let me know that I my novel, William & Lucy, is now registered.
Thanks,
Michael
Hi Michael,
Yes, we have it.
Many thanks,
Becky
I have found no place to enter the link to my book (on Smashwords). I have paid and have received the confirmation e-mail and added Global E-Book Awards to my address book. Please advise. Thanks.
You can list it next to the coupon code after the title on the add your ebook page. You can also email it to me at becky@parapublishing.com and I can update it on my end.
I too could not find the place to upload and deliver my e-book to Global e-book awards. It is sold on Amazon, Kindle and Nook. I’ll work on Smashbooks but it’s not there yet.
Please see the paragraph below from the add your ebook page
If you are unable to upload your book to Smashwords.com or are applying to any of the “Best of” categories please email your submission(jpeg, url, PDF, epub or Kindle file) to submissions@awardsforebooks.com.
Information on where to email files can also be located on the registration page, please see:

Hi Becky!
I filled out the registration info but didn’t see a submit button. I scrolled down to Leave a Reply. I am legally blind so I hope you received the information.
BTW, the code is simple on smashwords, all you do is hit “Generate a Coupon” and it’s there. very easy.
Thanks and good luck to everyone!

Hi, Nothing has come through yet, if you can email me the title of your book and the coupon code, I can put the information in for you. It would be better if you send that information to my email instead of posting it here, Becky@globalebookawards.com. Please let me know if you have any other questions or problems. Many thanks.
