Nominate Your Favorite 2016 Children's Book for a Cybils Award

This is for anyone and EVERYONE who has a fave book of the past year (published in U.S. or Canada between Oct. 16, 2015 - Oct. 15, 2016). You--yes, YOU!--are eligible to nominate one book per category for this year's Cybils Awards--Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards.

The categories are: Audiobooks, Easy Readers and Early Chapter Books, Elementary/Middle-Grade Speculative Fiction, Fiction Picture Books/Board Books, Graphic Novels, Middle-Grade Fiction, Middle-Grade/Young Adult Nonfiction, Juvenile/Elementary Nonfiction, Poetry, Young Adult Fiction, and Young Adult Speculative Fiction. For more information and to see what's been nominated already, read this post.

The Cybils are the first grassroots, volunteer blogger-driven children's book awards, now in its 11th year, and it costs you nothing to nominate! All eligible nominations will be read by the Round 1 panel of judges during the first reading period and winnowed down to a list of 5-7 finalists per category. So nominate, and spread the word--public nominations end on Oct. 15th. Author and publisher nominations are open from Oct. 16-25.

And if you can't think of a book to nominate, you can still support the Cybils by buying Really Cool Swag(TM) on the CafePress store. Go on. You know you want a mouse pad.
