About the
Award
The Award operates on two levels,
Younger Readers and Older Readers.
Readers are invited to nominate,
through their libraries, books that they
have enjoyed. These nominations are
then considered by the WAYRBA
committee and the two lists are drawn up.
Eligibility Books of fiction published within
the last five years and currently in print .
May be written by a living Australian or
overseas author. Only one title of any author may be included on a list
in any year
Evaluation Young people are asked to read
titles on the lists and evaluate them as
'terrific', 'good', 'okay' or 'awful.'
| The books on the
reading lists have been nominated by the young readers of Western
Australia and it is important that you carefully consider your
selection policy before purchasing.
Individual authorities are expected
to make their own decisions regarding any controversial aspects of
books purchased for their readers.
You do not have to purchase all the
books to participate in the voting.
