AWARD and AWARD CRITERIA

Thanks to the generous support of Marshall Cavendish,
NMRT is able to offer three tickets to the
Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet at the ALA Annual
Conference. Tickets are $89 each, which would be out
of the financial reach of most NMRT members if it
weren't for the generosity of Marshall Cavendish.

Any NMRT member who is not currently serving on the
Marshall Cavendish Award Committee may enter. Just
write a short essay (around 250 words) telling us why
you want to attend the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder
Banquet and how you feel you would benefit. For more
information about Newbery, Caldecott and Wilder
honorees, go to
