The Just For Mom Foundation has announced their Annual 2005 Mom’s Choice Children’s Book Awards with the winners to be announced at Book Expo America in NY in June.
There will be multiple award categories. Published books, not yet published books, self-published books, and books written by international authors are all eligible to receive awards. Separate awards will be given for picture books and chapter books. A special International Award will be given to the non-US based author who’s work best supports global peace and love.
"Our main goal in supporting this contest is to bring new authors with positive messages to the world and to the real buyers of children‚s works which are moms," said Tara Paterson, a successful business-mom, and mother of two boys ages 7 and 3. Ms. Paterson is President and Founder of the Just For Mom Foundation, a not-for-profit work that is committed to assisting mothers around the world. Ms. Paterson has been seen on CBS' 48 Hours, the Today Show, the Early Show, and has been written about in the Washington Post.
Entries will be judged by writers, editors, and children industry professionals with extensive backgrounds in writing, teaching, and caring for children.
Submissions for not yet published works are accepted for pre-K through High School in all genres including fiction and non-fiction. Submissions for published books to receive the prestigious Mom’s Choice Award will be for all works that are for children, pre-K through high school as well as any parenting materials or books that will make a positive impact on children and their mothers’ lives. Submissions will be accepted from March 1st until May 1st. Submissions are accepted both electronically and by mail.
