The Cybils Awards, or Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards, are a set of annual book awards given by people who blog about children's and young-adult books.〔() 〕 Co-founded by Kelly Herold and Anne Boles Levy in 2006,〔() 〕 the awards were created to address an apparent gap between perceived as too elitist and other awards that did not seem selective enough.〔() 〕 Books are nominated by the public in ten genres of children's and young adult literature: Book Apps, Easy Readers & Short Chapter Books, Fantasy & Science Fiction, Fiction Picture Books, Graphic Novels, Middle Grade Novels, Non-Fiction Middle Grade/Young Adult Books, Non-Fiction Picture Books, Poetry, and Young Adult Novels. Nominees go through two rounds of panel-based judging before a winner is announced in each category. Finalists and winners are selected on the basis of literary merit and kid appeal.〔() 〕 Panelists are volunteers and must be active bloggers with extensive experience in children's or young adult literature, either as readers and enthusiasts or as authors, librarians, booksellers, teachers, or others with verifiable investment in the world of children's literature. == Criteria == * Anybody may nominate a children's or young adult book published October 16 of the preceding year - October 15 of the contest year. * Books must be written in English or they may be bilingual. * Only one book may be nominated per person, per category. * Nominations open October 1 and close October 15 of the contest year. * Books should exemplify award criteria of literary merit and "kid appeal". * Audiobooks currently are not part of the awards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cybils Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
