Red House Children's Book Award

Nominations for the Red House Children's Book Award close on 1 February.

The Award is made annually to the best work of fiction for children. Hundreds of books are read, short-listed and voted for by children from around the country and any child in the UK can take part. All you have to do is to nominate any picture book or novel first published in the UK during 2007.

The Award is judged entirely by children from shortlist to final overall winner. There are also 3 category winners:
* Books for Younger Children
* Books for Younger Readers
* Books for Older Readers
The top 50 titles each year are published as The Pick of the Year List.
