Lists of the nominated titles in each grade band are on the poster and on the student and teacher/librarian ballots. All these titles were nominated exclusively by Ohio students.


Nominations are open year-round

Students can nominate books<https://bcbookaward.info/nominate/> for the Buckeye Book Awards at any time. Any 2022 or 2023 published book not part of a previous winning series is eligible for the 2024 awards. Librarians and teachers can collate and submit their students' nominations. The more nominations for a book, the higher its chances to make the final list.


About the Buckeye Book Awards

The Buckeye Children’s and Teen Book Awards, established in 1981, is Ohio’s readers’ choice award program for students in grades K-12. It is proudly sponsored by the Ohio Educational Library Media Association, Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts, Ohio Library Council, the Kent State University School of Information, the Ohio Literacy Association, and the State Library of Ohio.

It's our student community, not adults, who make all the nominations and decide the winners. Let’s celebrate their creativity and choices!
