Two weeks remaining to turn in your applications! ALL APPLICATIONS DUE by SATURDAY, DECEMBER 15TH
We are looking for readers to be part of the 2015 Selection Committees for the Nutmeg Book Award.
Meetings would start in January 2013 and end in November 2013.
At this time we especially need student readers (please encourage them not to wait till the last minute!) and would love to have some men join the committees. It’s great to have a male perspective when creating the nominee lists.
The reading teacher / school librarian / public librarian application is available at http://ow.ly/ez5Bx
Student applications:
Intermediate Book Award: Students in grade 6 or grade 7 http://ow.ly/eMr62
Teen Book Award: Students in grade 8 or grade 9 http://ow.ly/eMrrm
High School Book Award: Students in grade 10 or grade 11 http://ow.ly/eMqjz
At this time, we are not accepting applications from high school seniors and will not have student readers on the Elementary Book Award Selection Committee.
We’d like to have the students submit the applications electronically but if needed, you can print out the form and attach the essays to be mailed to the chairperson(s). Please make sure they are received before the deadline (12/15).
More information is available on the Nutmeg website http://nutmegaward.org/ or at the top of the application.
