Only one title per author will be included in each year's ballot. Last year's WINNING authors are not eligible this year. Books previously nominated are not eligible for nomination in following years. A book title nominated by more that one school or library will be considered more heavily for inclusion in the final list. Books based on movies or television shows are not eligible for nominations unless the book preceded the movie or television production. The author of a nominated book must be a living author. Caldecott and Newbery Award books are not eligible. Honor books are eligible. Once a book in a series has won, all other books in that series by that author will not be eligible for nomination. Children may vote for one picture book and one junior book provided they have read a minimum of three books in each category. Send the top 20 BOOK TITLES NOMINATED by children with the TOTAL nominations for each book to the CCBA Committee by March 1, 2016.
