Teens--Nominate a Book for the Flume Award!
Ann Hoey at the New Hampshire State Library tells us the Flume Award Committee is still looking for nominations for the 2010 list. The Flume Award, created in 2005, is the New Hampshire Teen Reader's Choice Award. Teens in grades 9-12 nominate books they think are worthy of recognition, and ultimately vote for their favorite from a list of finalists. Voting takes place in schools, public libraries, and online. Previous winners include the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown (2006), Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (2007), and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer (2008).
Nomination Criteria
Titles must be nominated by teens in grades 9-12, and can be any outstanding fiction or nonfiction title published within the last two years, in this case 2006-2008. If the book is part of a series, it must be able to stand alone, meaning a reader doesn't have to read the other books in the series to understand what's going on.
How to Nominate a Title
Nominations can be made using either the online form or a paper form at the library. The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2008.
By the way, there's still time to read up for the 2009 vote. Check out the list of 2009 nominees and get ready to vote by April 30, 2009.
