Since there are SO many entries, we’re going to do this in two rounds.
Round One will be from Jan. 1 - 4. Ends at 9pm EST tonight! The top seven will advance to the final round. (Voting will be Jan 5 - 9.)
Voting Rules:
Select the top THREE best book trailers. Only one set of votes per person. No voting for yourself. If you’ve entered a trailer, you need to be one of my blog followers in order to advance to round two. And please only select THREE trailers. (Honor system here!)
Judge the trailers on:
Quality
Professionalism
Creativity
Perfect length
Perfect amount of information
A great teaser (like a movie trailer)
Makes you want to read the book
Remember, you are judging the TRAILER, not the BOOK!
The voting widget is just to the right in the sidebar. Please view all of the videos before casting your vote.
Happy viewing!

Wow!!! These are all amazing! This was really hard, but I've chosen my 3 faves! Good luck to everyone and congrats on creating such great trailers! :)
I'm going to try to view all of these when I get home later this week. Don't know if I'll be able to get my vote in, but good luck to all of the entrants.
This was a great service for you to provide, Diane.

Happy New Year From Southern California.
Don't forget to watch the 122nd Rose Parade on New Year's Day coming from Pasadena, California...only 30 miles from The Old Geezer's home :-) If you miss the live telecast, I'm sure there will be lots of reruns through out the day.

They're all such great trailers! I voted for my faves.
Happy new year!
This is such a great study for knowing what good trailers are--you know, why. I'm not voting, though. I'm under deadline. Good luck to all, though!
Best,
Carolyn
Ron, I did indeed watch the parade!
cast my votes, excellent contest!!!!
cast my votes, excellent contest!!!!
I enjoyed these trailers so much -- what a great idea to hold a competition. I found I liked the shorter ones best -- 1 to 1.5 minutes seems perfect.
I've watched them all ... like Patricia I feel the shorter ones are better. Its difficult to hold one's attention for a trailer any longer than that. I'll be back to vote on my three.
what a turn out to your fab. contest, Diane! Great stuff. Hard to do, but I narrowed it to three. Good luck to all.
I've made my votes, what a super selection.

Round Two with only seven videos will be much easier! I imagine the shorter ones will move on, too.
Thanks again for doing this contest - such a great idea and so fun to watch these trailers. On a side note - I grew up going to Santa's Village...slightly disturbed now...hehehe
This was fun. I agree with some of the other commenters that a few trailers were too long. Now I’m off to vote.
What a fun contest. But how difficult it is to choose from so many diverse entries. I'll be back later to watch the trailers I haven't seen.
