Nominations for the new Kidz Books award 2004 are now underway. We are only looking for nominations for books first published in 2004. So how can you check if your favourite book is eligible? Here is a rough guide to confirming that your book was first published in 2004.
- Go to the publishing page - this is usually the second or third page of the book, before the story starts. In some picture books these details can be found inside the back cover or occasionally on the back cover itself.
- Look for the words "First Published" - they should precede the year 2004!
- You may see the words "This edition published 2004" instead. This could indicate that the book was first published in 2004, but make sure there are no earlier years on this publishing page. If there are, the book was most probably published in a previous year, and this is a reprint or new edition.
- If you can't see any mention of a publication date, look for a copyright date - it should read (c)2004
We look forward to receiving your nomination entries. Please click here to nominate.
