The Red House Children's Book Award is a set of annual literary prizes for children's books published in the U.K. during the preceding school year. It recognises one "Overall" winner and one book in each of three categories: Books for Younger Children, Books for Younger Readers, and Books for Older Readers. The selections are made entirely by school children, which is unique among British literary awards.〔 The Federation of Children's Book Groups owns and coordinates the Award, which it inaugurated in 1981 as the Children's Book Award. Its purpose has been "to celebrate the books that children themselves love reading."〔 Since 2001 it has been named for a sponsor, the mail order bookshop Red House〔RHCBA, About.〕 —a brand owned by bookselling company The Book People. ==Process and latest rendition== The 2015 shortlist is scheduled to be announced 27 October 2014.〔RHCBA, Home. Retrieved 2014-10-21.〕 The 2014 Overall winner was from the Older Readers category, announced in mid-February 2014: ''The 5th Wave'', written by Rick Yancey and published by Penguin Books.〔 Winners are determined by the votes of children on three category ballots composed by nominations from the same group. "Children from around the world" are eligible to participate in both stages.〔 At least in Britain, some children participate through book groups.〔 The annual cycle approximately fits the British school year. Nominations are open from September to September, covering books published in the U.K. during the same twelve months. As of 23 September 2012, nominations for the 2014 awards were open although the publication of eligible books was only beginning. Nominations for 2013 had closed but the shortlists had not been announced.〔 The 2015 shortlist is scheduled to be announced 27 October 2014.〔 The three ballots, or shortlists, comprise those ten books that garner the most nominations.〔RHCBA, Pick of the Year.〕 For 2012 there were four books on the Younger Children ballot and three each on the Younger Readers and Older Readers ballots.〔RHCBA, 2012 Shortlist.
