Nominations for all Cybils categories open October 1st and close on the 15th. The guidelines are here.
Submissions from publishers and authors will be accepted October 16-26 and information for that is at the publisher section.
The mission of these awards is as follows ... "The Cybils Awards aims to recognize the children’s and young adult authors and illustrators whose books combine the highest literary merit and popular appeal. If some la-di-dah awards can be compared to brussels sprouts, and other, more populist ones to gummy bears, we’re thinking more like organic chicken nuggets. We’re yummy and nutritious."
So if you have read a great picture book, early reader, chapter book, middle grade or young adult novel, graphic novel, poetry or nonfiction book this past year please nominate them!
The Elementary/Middle Grade Non-Fiction Chair is Jennifer Wharton Jean Little Library

Congratulations! I am looking forward to being a round 1 judge, too. Round 1 is more fun because you can share your experiences on your blog, but it is a lot of reading in a short period of time. Can't wait to see what is nominated.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Congrats to you too. I agree, round 1 is way more fun - overwhelming, but fun.
