In 2012 The BAM Awards debuted a shortlisting system. The idea being that it’d split up the deliberating process and perhaps streamline it. First, I take all the considerations and build a short list, from that shortlist choose the eventual nominees.
What happened last year was that all the deadlines were too close together. This year the nominations will be announced on 1/2/2014; the winners on 1/9/2014. This should allow ample time for decision-making and writing. Also, titles viewed between the creation of this list and the year’s end will be eligible and chronicled on a separate post. Titles on the December considerations list are not factoring in until the final nominating process.
Enjoy, and do come back for the announcement of nominees and winners. You can subscribe to the blog by email (on the sidebar), like it on Facebook or follow Bernardo Villela on Twitter.
Please note this list is not yet completed, it will be shortly.
