Hello IASL,
I am very excited to announce that IASL has been selected for the second time
as a nominating body for the 2019 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 lifetime 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 include Maurice Sendak from the US, Shaun Tan from Australia,
Banco del Libro in Venezuela, and the Tamer Institute in Palestine.
Last year, we nominated Mem Fox (author- Australia), Stephen Krashen
(promoter of reading- USA), and Robert Ingpen (illustrator- Australia). It
would be great to have more global representation in our nominations this
year coming from Asia, Latin America, and Africa.
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.) As we did last year, we will first collect
your nomination ideas via a Google form followed by an open discussion of the
nominees with a survey to vote. To make your nomination, please go to this
Google Form<https://goo.gl/forms/v6qoXTmOxb7xn6x12> 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. Read more
about the nomination process at this
link<http://www.alma.se/en/Nominations/Nomination-Rules/<http://www.alma.se/Documents/2016/Januari-mars/Nomineringsprocess/Nomination%20form%202017.pdf>>.
Please contribute your candidate by 10 April so we have time for some open
discussion on the list serv and voting from everyone before the final
nominations are due from us to the Award committee in May.
Thank you and looking forward to see who we come up with this year! (:
Cheers,
Kasey
