You may remember my little posts last year about why I love the Cybils and what working on the Cybils was like. I thought I’d take the time to share that the committee is now accepting applications for panel and judges in a variety of genres. This year, there’s even a new category for judging children’s apps, which I am really excited to learn more about.

If you’re a blogger and meet the qualifications spelled out clearly here, consider dropping an application in. It’s an exhilarating experience, but if ever you wanted to beef up your knowledge of the kidlit world, learn how to read and discuss kidlit intelligently, and give back to the kidlit community, here’s a chance. You might even get the chance to practice your close reading skills and discover the interesting synchronicities among the books you read.
