The Boscars are the Book Oscars a new book award created and managed by the Young Adult Advisory Council. The 2009 Boscars were a smashing success and we are gearing up for the 2010 awards. Here are the specifics:

Nominations: You will be able to nominate books/authors/characters for a boscar from May 25th-August 2nd, 2009. All nominations must be seconded by a member of the Young Adult Advisory Council. Anyone can join YAAC, all you have to do is come to a meeting and you too can second nominations.

Voting: You can vote online for the the final award from September1st-October 23rd, 2009.

Requirements: Books/characters/authors that are nominated for a Boscar have to meet certain critera:

• They can be published anytime
• They must be published for teens (check the publisher name inside the book most of them say "teen")
• If a book/character/author wins in a certain category they cannot win in that category ever again. However they can be nominated for several awards in one year, and being nominated in 2010 does not disqualify them from being nominated in 2011 (assuming they didn't win in 2010).

Award Categories: Books/characters/authors can be nominated for an award in any or all of the following categories.

• Best Fiction
• Best Non-Fiction
• Best Graphic Fiction
• Best Series
• Best Male Character
• Best Female Character
• Best Author
