After 10 years we have 10 champions. So, the only logical thing to do is to line them up on a board and have a champions' league!
All 10 champions have been great sports and volunteered to take part.
The book that comes 10th in this contest will be 10th out of the 3,000 books to have entered the SPFBO. So don't feel bad for them. It's an extraordinary accomplishment.
Here they are in the order they won, from The Thief Who Pulled On Trouble's Braids (2015) to By Blood, By Salt (2025).
The judges / judging teams are shown and linked on the orderboard further down the page.
They are free to work to any timescale within the 6 months alloted (June 1st - December 20th), and can review individually or in batches.
There will be no scores!
The only requirement is that as they review each book they must place it on the ordered list they're compiling and say where it fits among the books they have already placed.
The 10 orderings will be combined into an overall ordering and the book at the top of that ordering at the end of the contest will be the champion of champions!
There will be a trophy - possibly trophies - we're working on that.
