New ALA Audio Prize 


by Shannon Maughan 

Joining the prestigious line-up that includes the Newbery and Caldecott
Medals, the American Library Association has created a new award. The
Odyssey Award will be given to an outstanding audiobook produced for
children up to 18 years old, beginning in 2008. The announcement of the new
award was made during the ALA's annual meeting in New Orleans. 

The Odyssey, so named for the storytelling aspect of audio, is a joint award
sponsored by ALA's publication Booklist and selected by two divisions of
ALA: Association for Library Service to Children (which bestows the Newbery
and Caldecott, among others) and the Young Adult Library Services
Association (which gives the Printz Award and others to YA books).

The Odyssey will be given annually, with one winner selected and the
possibility of honor titles being chosen as well. The first Odyssey will be
decided next year, for 2007 titles, and will be presented at the 2008 ALA
Midwinter Conference in Philadelphia.
