2021 Cybils Volunteer Application
Do you love to read children's or YA books and share about them publicly (for instance a blog, GoodReads, reviews on Instagram, or a YouTube Channel)? Do you want a great excuse to make reading and talking about books your priority? Do you want to commit to taking a deep dive into your preferred genre? If you've answered yes to all of the above, then we'd love to have you on board for the 2021 Children's and Young Adult Bloggers' Literary Awards. Fill out the form, and we'll see if we can find a spot for you. The deadline to apply is September 10.

Clear selection
Please provide any additional information about your kidlit-related activities that you think we might like to know--if you review for SLJ, for example, or volunteer for a literacy group. Stuff like that. Keep it as brief as possible.
PLEASE let us know if there are any possible conflicts of interest which would affect your ability to serve on a Cybils panel--if you (or your spouse/partner) have written a book which might be nominated, or have accepted money from an author or publisher, for example. If you worked for a publisher or agent in any capacity, please let us know here. *
If you have any connection to any book published for youth in the last year, we want to know about it. It won't necessarily eliminate you, but we need to know so that we can decide how to handle it. If you aren't sure if something is a conflict of interest, please tell us anyway so that we may determine the impact.
Diversity
The Cybils Awards is committed to ensuring that the books that earn our award are inclusive and represent all communities, no matter how they intersect. Would you like to share anything about how your participation would contribute to our diversity, inclusion, and representation mission? [IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an optional question and your answer will be held in the strictest confidence of the Chairs only. Not responding will not disqualify you from consideration.]
