From now until October 15, you can nominate books for the Cybils Awards. Yes, you! You don't have to belong to any organization, you don't have to be a reviewer or a publisher. You don't even have to be a grown-up, which is good news for those of us who have never grown up.
What kind of book can you nominate? Well, this award is for children's/young adult books, so we'll start there. Other than that, the rules are:
1. Published in the US or Canada.
2. Published for the first time between October 16, 2016 and October 15, 2017.
Rules for specific categories can be found here. You may nominate one title in each category. Not familiar with a certain one, but want to make your mark? Here are a few that might be worth a look:
