The School Library Journal has just established a new award for book trailers! Wahoo!
The Trailie Award
Voters must select the best video in six categories:
- publisher/author created for elementary readers (PreK-6)
- publisher/author created for secondary readers (7-12 grade)
- student created for elementary readers (PreK-6 grade)
- student created for secondary readers (7-12 grade)
- adult (anyone over 18) created for elementary readers (PreK-6 grade)
- adult created for secondary readers (7-12 grade)
A committee of librarians will choose four nominations in each category, and the winners will be announced at the School Library Journal Leadership Summit on the Future of Reading on October 22, 2010 in Chicago, IL.
Anyone is eligible to nominate a video, but it must be produced between January 1, 2006 to July 1, 2010. Just send an email to SLJbooktrailers@gmail.com. Include the name of the video, the video’s creator(s), the author, the title of the book in the video, the URL to view the video, and no more than 200 words describing how it draws in potential readers.
Look for more info later on how to vote on your favorites.
