How does it work, I hear you ask? All the authors must be Australian, and are nominated by their publishers. Then, the judges assess the nominations and select a short list of finalists. There are categories for Older Readers, Younger Readers, Early Childhood, Picture Books and Information Books. Winners are announced at 12pm sharp on the third Friday in August (that's 16th August this year).
And the nominees are:
Older Readers:
