About Stellar
The Stellar Book Award is B.C.’s Teen Readers Choice Award. 2014/2015 marks our tenth Stellar season!
From November to April, teens throughout B.C. read, rank, review, and discuss show more favourite nominees. In order to vote, you must have read at least five of the nominated books. You can then vote starting from May 1 to July 31 (by emailing redcedaraward@gmail.com), and in early August, the winner of the Stellar Book Award will be announced. If voting is very close, an Honour book will be announced.
In order to vote, you need to be between the ages of 13 (by January 1, 2015) and 19. Many of the nominated titles deal with themes or issues that are not appropriate for a younger audience. Select titles which you are comfortable reading.
To post reviews of this season’s nominees, register with your user name and email address. You can then click on a book in the current season and submit a review. Please note that the content of reviews will be for read for approval prior to posting.
The inaugural Stellar award in 2005/2006 was won by Barbara Haworth Attard for her novel Theories of Relativity. The next Stellar Award went to Carrie Mac for her stunning and powerful book The Beckoners. Since that time award winners have included Kelley Armstrong for The Summoning (2011) and Moira Young for Blood Red Road (2013). YOU will decide who wins the next Stellar Book Award!
Titles considered for the Stellar Book Award must have been:
written by a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant who has lived in Canada for at least two years;
published within two years before the beginning of the program (ie: Books published in 2013/2014 will be considered for the 2014/2015 program in order to allow hardcover titles to be re-released in paperback);
published by a recognized publisher and available in print;
recognized by other reviewers of Canadian literature;
and recognized as being of interest to teens.
Librarians and teachers wishing to order sets of the books are encouraged to do so by ordering through the “Friends of the Young Readers’ Choice Awards” – United Library Services (www.uls.com), Kidsbooks or S&B Books.
Librarians wishing to support the Stellar Awards simply need to encourage their students to sign up and facilitate access to and discussion of the titles. You can also register as a group leader to receive information about new postings and author tours. The Teens register directly! Thanks for joining and we look forward to a dynamic Stellar season!
The Stellar Book Award is administered by a volunteer steering committee of teens and adults as part of the Young Readers’ Choice Awards Society of B.C., who also administer the Red Cedar Book Awards. show less
