[Libs-Or] Free Tickets to the Newberry/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet at ALA Annual: Apply Now!

[Arturo Guillen]

In behalf of Thomas Shelton I'm posting the following announcement: 
***********************************************************************************

*AWARD and AWARD CRITERIA*
Thanks to the generous support of Marshall Cavendish, NMRT is able to offer three tickets to the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet at the ALA Annual Conference. Tickets are $94 each, which would be out of the financial reach of most NMRT members if it weren't for the generosity of Marshall Cavendish.
Any NMRT member who is not currently serving on the Marshall Cavendish Award Committee may enter. Just write a short essay (around 250 words) telling us why you want to attend the Newbery/Caldecott/Wilder Banquet and how you feel you would benefit. For more information about Newbery, Caldecott and Wilder honorees, go to http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/awardsscholarships/literaryawds/literaryrelated.
