Subject: Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award Nominations
Hello IASL,
I am very excited to announce that IASL has been selected as a nominating body
for the 2018 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award! This is a great honour for us as
we are one of just three international organisations selected to nominate. The
Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award<http://www.alma.se/en/> is the world's largest
children's literature award and honours the life time achievements of authors,
illustrators and storytellers as well as organisations or individuals who have
completed long-term, sustainable work to promoting reading. The website also
notes the award's "focus on respect for democratic values and human rights"
citing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child as a foundation for their
work. Past laureates <http://www.alma.se/en/award-winners/> include Maurice
Sendak from the US, Shaun Tan from Australia, Banco del Libro in Venezuela, and
the Tamer Institute in Palestine.
We are allowed four nominations and would try to choose one in each of the four
areas: author, illustrator, storyteller, and reading promoter (organisation or
individual.) After consulting with Jill Hancock and IASL President Katy Manck,
we decided the best way to collect ideas from IASL would be via a Google form
followed by an open discussion of the nominees. Please go to this Google
Form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYTb3JQ3xy4-1P7w440oy_qtK9S6Dz7m86eebbEGuwYYmTww/viewform>
and fill out the information regarding your nominated author, illustrator,
storyteller, and/or reading promoting organisation or individual. For each of
our nominees, we must include a variety of information available on the Google
form and at this
link<http://www.alma.se/Documents/2016/Januari-mars/Nomineringsprocess/Nomination%20form%202017.pdf>.
Please contribute your candidate by 15 April so we have time for the open
discussion from everyone before the final nominations are due from us to the
Award committee in mid May.
Thank you and looking forward to see who we come up with! (:
Cheers,
Kasey
