Fill out our handy application form, which is right here.
The deadline to apply is August 31st but don't wait — many organizers begin filling slots immediately.
Please note these changes for this year: Nonfiction categories are
split differently with the Elementary/Middle- Grade Nonfiction category
replacing the Nonfiction
Picture Books category and including picture books. Also, Fantasy and
Science Fiction has been changed to Speculative Fiction.
For Book Apps, it is important that panelists have consistent access to an iPad. Also, since we are accepting ebooks in some categories, judges will be
expected to read ebooks if any are submitted in the following: Poetry, Young Adult
Nonfiction, Young Adult Fiction, and Young Adult Speculative Fiction.
