Get detailed descriptions for each category <a href="https://www.cybils.com/cybils-award-categories">here</a>.<br />3. ISBN. That will pull up the title for you to confirm your nomination.</p> <p>Last but not least, there are two separate phases for entering books into awards consideration. The public can nominate books for a 2-week period that begins at 12:00 PT on October 1.
