It’s the 1st February today and do you know what that means?
It means you have just 20 days to make your final decisions and send us your 5 shortlist nominations.
Make sure you’ve sent us your nominations by or before Pancake Day (Feb. 21st) otherwise your votes may not count. After that you will receive your (quite frankly) amazing welcome pack, and all you need to do then is to get reading!
So come on people!! LET’S DO THIS!
Looking forward to hearing from you all soon,
The ABA Committee
Welcome to the brand new Amazing Book Awards website. We’re just getting started and 2012 will be our very first year. Here are some things you need to know about us:
The Sussex Coast Schools Amazing Book Awards have been created by a group of School Librarians from West Sussex. The awards are aimed at students in Years 9 & 10, but students from most years are welcome to take part. * some texts might be unsuitable for students in year 7 *
We decided to choose British/UK authors whose books were published for the first time in paperback between June 2010 and Jun 2011. We wanted books suitable for 13-15 year olds, nothing too young or old, and nothing too heavy (!) It’s up to you to decide if we’ve made the right choices.
This year we have 20 books on our long-list and you’ve got till 21st Feb (Pancake Day) to pick your favourite 5. Once we’ve received all the nominations from the schools taking part we’ll select the 5 top books and they will become our shortlist.
Then you’ve got until 18th June to read all 5 and vote for your very most favourite. After that you will be invited to a very grand, glittery and (hopefully) star-author-studded award ceremony at the brand new Shoreham Academy on 5th July. We’ll have drinks and nibbles, you’ll have a chance to meet the authors, buy signed copies of their books and see who the winners are.
Here’s what you can do:
Happy reading everyone,
The ABA Committee
