Final Results!

It's been six months since the first round of the Romance Biggest Winner competition began on July 5, 2011. We started out with a little over 90 romance readers and authors, and although we had a few people leave for various reasons over the course of the competition, I'm happy to say that the majority of us stuck it out and some are even continuing on to Round 2!

You may remember that the Grand Prizes for the competition were $1,000 for the biggest romance reader winner and a $1,000 for the biggest romance author winner. Without further ado, here are the overall percentages for the participants who reported in (not required unless participants wished to be considered for the grand prizes).
