There are 172 members of the jury who are reading right now to arriving to select the winners of the 2014 Rainbow Awards in time for December 8, 2014. From the many Honorable Mentions we gave, you can understand the quality of the submissions for this year cycle of the awards, so cutting down to finalists was really, really hard. Like Solomon, I decided to ask to the jury an additional effort so to be able to advance 50% of the submissions. Considering some tie titles, 284 titles are in the finals.
