How should we mark it when one book is mentioned on several categories of the same award? The system doesn't allow us to add the same award to a book more than once.

If the book has won, say, two categories you can always just list both of those categories in the category field. Same if it has just been a nominee in both. But I've run into a book that won one of the categories and was nominee in the other. How do we mark this?

The particular book I ran into this problem with was this one:

I've done a temporary fix (listing the category where it was a nominee after the winning category), but I think this is anything but a perfect way to mark this...


Elizabeth (Alaska) I think you have done the right thing the way the system is set up. This is an example of why, for some of the larger awards, we should make the categories separate awards.
