Thanks so much Katie. It’s good to learn about how you select finalists for literary awards.

 

I am asking about criteria for the literacy awards program that LOC began last year for state affiliates. Our award will recognize organizations that advance literacy in Iowa.

Hi! Here is a link to Oregon Book Awards information: http://www.literary-arts.org/what-we-do/oba-home/book-awards/.

 

Eligibility requirements are here: http://www.literary-arts.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/2015APPLICATION1.pdf

 

Here is the selection process:

Selection Process: Out-of-state judges are instructed to choose up to five finalists in each category, including a winner, using literary merit as the sole selection criterion. Literary Arts does not prescreen entries except to determine eligibility. Each judge has the option of selecting fewer than five finalists and of making no award. In all cases, judges’ decisions are final

Dear colleagues,

 

Does anyone have a set of criteria for selecting your state literacy award winners? We are getting started in Iowa. We’ve decided that for the first year we will solicit nominations for organizations only (libraries, not-for-profits, educational organizations…)

 

I’d appreciate any advice or documents you might have developed.

 

Thanks,

Robin
