SUBMISSION CRITERIA
Publication Dates
Entries must have been published between January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.
Books
A book of thirty-two pages or more may be bound in either hard or soft cover. Publications fewer than thirty-two pages must be hardcover and thus distinguishable from a booklet.
Books in a Series
Books must be published as a series, identical in design and manufacture. For ELHI texts, select one student edition per grade, one teacher edition from one grade, and one piece of ancillary material.
To ensure that entries are evaluated with the appropriate criteria in mind, categories have been established to recognize the intended use of the book, as well as the demands, constraints, challenges, and opportunities that exist in each category.
All books, covers, and jackets are entered in ONLY ONE of the SIX categories. Please read the CATEGORIES descriptions and submit your entries accordingly USING THE APPROPRIATE CORRESPONDING CATEGORY NUMBER AND SUBCATEGORY LETTER ON THE INTERNET ENTRY FORM. Please note that entries are subject to the judges' final discretion--if they decide a book would be better served in a category other than that originally entered, it is in their purview to move it.
