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
2008 Annual Conference in Anaheim, CA. 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
