Books from publishers can be submitted for consideration for the prize. In addition, the judges can sometimes send inviations to authors if they think the books should be included. Initially, the Advisory Committee give advice if there are any changes to the rules for the prize. Then, the people who will judge the books will be selected. There is an annual change in the judging panel and usually an individual is only a judge once.
