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.

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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
