When MAPA was active, we had book awards for at least 5 of the 10 years or so that we existed. The last two years we expanded the categories and made quite a bit of money, though the primary purpose of expanding the categories was to be fair to the publishers who entered. For example, every one of the early years when a single category included 2-color AND 4-color covers, the 4-color won every time. We (okay, I) frequently made two categories where one had been.
The judging location moved to different states within our 10-state region, and my recollection is that for some of the years our judging was done at large city libraries by librarians.
