Conversion specialist eBooks2go celebrated its third year of business by holding a month-long (June 9th 2014 - July 9th 2014) Children's Book Contest for the first time in company history. The competition was geared toward authors and writers of illustrated/picture books with the objective being to find the best Children's Book on the market.
The transformation mavens received a plethora of qualified submissions and were amazed with the turnout generated by the event. Upon review, an experienced team of highly-skilled publishing professionals noted several key factors in selecting a winner. The ultimate prize would go to the author whose book:
1. Conveyed Mass Appeal
2. Delivered Eye-Catching Illustrations
3. Possessed Animation Capabilities
4. Spawned Opportunities for Gaming Elements
After careful examination and discussion, the crew at eBooks2go elected what they felt was the personification of a true children's book. The digital renovation enthusiasts were pleased to proclaim that the winner of their 2014 Children's Book Contest was:
