Our Shadow Judging program is an exciting addition to our annual calendar. We are inviting young voices from across Australia to join the conversation about the books on our CBCA Book of the Year Shortlist. At the end of CBCA Book Week at our Shadower’s Choice Awards winners chosen by our young groups of judges will be announced.
All participating groups of young people, our ‘Shadow Judges’ will:
- Read the 6 Shortlisted books in their nominated category from 2024 CBCA Book of the Year Awards (BOTYA)
- Discuss these titles with their peers against the CBCA Book of the Year Awards criteria, Share a creative response, and Vote for their winners.
Register with the ACT Branch and we will ensure that you are sent a link to the National site, are supported by our team, with regular catch-ups, workshops for facilitators and students
