Anne --
Right now I use Golden Ducks awards for Excellence in Children's Science
Fiction Literature website http://www.goldenduck.org/
The Golden Duck Awards consist of three cash awards given annually in the
categories of Picture Book, Middle Grades (Eleanor Cameron Award), and Young
Adult (Hal Clement Award). Special awards are given when appropriate. Candidates
are selected from titles copyrighted in the previous year; however exceptions
may be made for titles published outside of the United States.
In the future I can add Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.
http://www.sfwa.org/ The SFWA approved the Andre Norton Award for YA
published in 2005.

We welcome nominations of titles for Golden Duck consideration as well as
participation in our selection process. A committee including teachers,
librarians, and fannish parents selects a finalist list of 5-6 titles in each
category.
Members of a larger jury read the finalist titles in a category and using
Australian ballots decide on the winning title for the year. Our procedures are
similar to the Hugos, with considerations for differences such as the small
number of voters, and availability of titles.
