The YABBA awards are a children's choice book award in 3 sections, presented annually.
The sections are:
Picture Story Books
Fiction for Younger Readers
Fiction for Older Readers
Each year:
Children nominate Australian children's fiction books that have been published in the last ten years to create a short list.
Children vote for their favourite books by a specified date in October, (usually International Children's Day).
The winners are announced at the award ceremony where authors and illustrators receive YABBA citations presented by children.
Established in 1986. Sponsored by YABBA, Victoria, Australia
