*NOMINATIONS AND VOTING ARE NOW CLOSED*
THE CHARACTERS WHO MADE THE CUT FOR THE TOURNAMENT WILL BE POSTED SHORTLY.
Thank you all for your enthusiasm!
And now for a very exciting announcement!!!
We at the YA Sisterhood have decided to celebrate the summer with a bit of a fun YA-Crush fest!
Or as we like to call it...
Here's the idea: Using a traditional tournament bracket, we'll be matching up the Young Adult genre's most crush-worthy males to find out just who is #1. For each matchup, (Ex: Peeta from the Hunger Games vs Jace from Mortal Instruments) we'll have one blogger to represent each crush. They'll present their case as to why they think their character should win, then with the help of all of you, we'll vote to determine a winner. The Tournament will continue until there is one winner!
So here's what we need from you all!
First up-- Comment below and tell us your favorite YA crushes! We'll take nominations and votes through the end of the day (midnight) on Friday, July 1st. Feel free to list as many as you would like! Also, include your crush even if it's already been mentioned in order to help break ties! When we make the bracket we'll pair up matches based on their seed (from most popular to least popular), so second away!
Second-- if you're interested in being a crush advocate (duking it out for your guy to win), please email us at yasisterhood(at)gmail(dot)com or leave your email in a comment. If you have a blog, please leave a link so we can check out your writing. We make no guarantees that you'll get your requested crush, but we'll do what we can! It would be in your best interest to tell us several that you might want to represent!
Third-- Follow us here or on twitter (@YASisterhood and @brittanydhoward) to stay updated on Tourney news!
