By nominating a book in the Competition you are accepting this excuse for a set of terms and conditions and entering into the spirit of positivity and awesomeness that traditionally accompanies the Not the Booker prize. Only publications eligible for the 2020 Booker prize are eligible for the Competition. Shortlist votes received after 23.59 BST on Sunday 16 August 2020 will not be counted. An additional novel will be selected for the 2020 shortlist by the 2019 judging panel, with two further selections being made by Harrogate library and Book-ish in Crickhowell. The Competition shortlist will be debated on theguardian.com/books in the following weeks, accompanied by a series of studiously balanced and fair articles about the shortlisted books.
