I just happen to stumble upon this Reader's Choice Awards while browsing thru the diferent facebook accounts of some of my favorite comic artists, writers, and their works.
The Filipino Readers' Choice Awards (FRCA) is said to be on its 2nd year of honoring Philippine published titles. It also encourages Filipinos to bring back our reading habits. The contest goes thru different phases wherein Phase 1 is the nomination period that runs from August 9-23, 2013. Phase 2 will be the period wherein the public gets to vote upon the entries that made it from nomination period. This will occur during August 24, 2013 up to September 6, 2013. Phase 3, in which I think they might have placed a wrong number since on the website it goes directly to Phase 4, nevertheless is the period wherein a panel will judge the entries that were shortlisted by the votes gathered from the public in the previous phase. This will occur during September 7, 2013 up to October 8, 2013. The awarding of the winners will then occur on November 9, 2013.
The winners for the previous FRCA last year were:
Children's Picture Book: "But That Won't Wake Me Up!" by Annie and Anelka Lumbao and Liza Flores, Adarna House
