Book lovers! It is that time of year! The time when we all hustle over to the Cybils website to nominate our favorite children’s and YA publications of the past year for the 2017 Awards!
If you’re new to the Cybils Awards, here’s a brief intro:
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.
The nominations are OPEN TO THE PUBLIC (that’s YOU!) from October 1-15, and you can nominate one title for each category. There are lots of categories and we really want to be able to recognize and plug the best books of the year for ALL genres and age ranges. Unfortunately, Audiobooks is on hiatus this year, and you’ll find a couple of other minor changes, but with more than 10 categories, there are plenty of opportunities to send worthy book suggestions to our Round 1 judging panels. You can get all the relevant information right here.
