The private award is for Most Artistic Trailer. This is the Trailer that best combines art and design. This award is voted upon by a select group known as the Covey Judges. This is an invitation only group but if you know of someone who is qualified please contact us.

Welcome to The New Covey Trailer Awards
Welcome to The New Covey Trailer Awards.
The New Covey Trailer Awards are the same as The New Covey Awards but for Book Trailers (sometimes also called Book Peeks) instead of Book Covers.
The goal of The New Covey Trailer Awards is to recognize Book Trailers that would make you interested in the book, make you stop and perhaps visit the authors website to read the excerpt. Like The New Covey Awards, it is also a forum that provides additional exposure for new authors.
Each person who wins a New Covey Trailer Award will receive an icon and will be listed as an Award Recipient. The icon and a link can be posted on their website or blog to show the world that their Book Trailer rocks.
Contact us at TheNewCoveyTrailerAwards@gmail.com with any questions.
