Buckeye Children’s and Teen Book Awards voting open through Nov. 10

9/5/2023

The Buckeye Children’s and Teen Book Awards is Ohio’s readers’ choice book award program for students in grades K-12. Created in 1981, it is one of the few readers’ choice awards in which students make all the nominations and vote for the winners.
 
The 2023 voting period continues through Nov. 10 at www.bcbookaward.info. There is a button for students to vote directly and a button for teachers and librarians who collect student votes to send them in bulk.

Teachers and librarians can consider setting up a display of Buckeye Book Award-nominated titles as well as past winners, reaching out to teachers and posting to social media to encourage students to vote.
Lists of the nominated titles in each grade band are on the student and teacher/librarian ballots. All titles on the ballot were nominated exclusively by Ohio students.

Nominations for the Buckeye Book Awards are open year-round. Ohio students may nominate their favorite new books anytime at the nomination site.
