UKLA Book Awards 2020 longlists revealed
The 12th year of these unique book awards, which are the only national awards judged by active classroom teachers, sees a revision of the age boundaries and the creation of a new award category for information books, as well as revised judging criteria seeking to make the awards more diverse and inclusive. Submissions were particularly sought from small publishers and a record 422 submissions were received. These were read by an experienced panel of past teacher judges, ex-teachers, librarians and consultants and the resulting longlists reveal a strong showing for poetry and works in translation and featuring debut authors and debut publishers as well as more familiar names.
