BOYA Judges 2019/20

We are pleased to announce that Emma Phillips from South Australia will be one of the judges for the Book of the Year Awards - Older Readers category for 2019/20.

The annual CBCA Book of the Year Awards affirm the quality of some of Australia’s most creative people and provides a boost to their capacity to devote time to their craft.

​Entries in the Older Readers category are for outstanding books for young people aged between 13 and 18 years (secondary school level). Readers require a degree of maturity to appreciate the themes and scope of emotional involvement. Books in this category may be fiction, drama, illustrated text, poetry or graphic novels. Judging takes into account the literary qualities of the text, editing and book production.
