call for suggested programs: IBBY-Asahi award

2/28/2021

 
Dear Reading Enthusiasts,
The USBBY Committee for the IBBY-Asahi Reading Promotion Award is soliciting names of programs to be considered for USBBY’s nomination for the 2022 IBBY-Asahi Reading Promotion Award. The Award is given biennially to a group or institution, which by their outstanding activities are judged by an international Jury to be making a lasting contribution to book promotion programs for children and young people. The prize-winning organization will receive a diploma and a sum of $10,000, which is generously given by the Asahi Shimbun Newspaper Company of Japan. Each National Section of IBBY is invited to nominate 1 or 2 programs for the Award.
If you know of a program worthy of consideration for this prestigious Award, or if you would like further information, please email:
Dr. Elizabeth Poe, Chair of the USBBY IBBY-Asahi Reading Promotion Award Committee, at eapoe1@gmail.com.  
Along with the name of the organization, please include its website, a brief justification for the program’s worthiness for consideration, and your contact information. 
Due date for all program suggestions is April 1, 2021.  
Thanks for helping recognize deserving reading promotion programs,
Elizabeth Poe
