Red House Children's Book Award

There are two voting options available - individual voting and group voting.

Please take a look at the shortlisted titles for 2010 before casting your vote. Rather than just voting for your favourite book, you must place all four books in order of preference (your favourite book comes 1st, your next favourite 2nd and so on)

You can vote in as many or as few categories as you like, but can only vote once per category - duplicated votes will not be counted.

You can always download a voting form here and send it back to the address on the form.

Vote for your favourite books in each of these categories:

• Younger Children
• Younger Readers
• Older Readers

You can also download a voting form here and send it back to the address on the form.

School classes and library groups are able to vote together through group voting, instructions on how to vote in each category are below.

• Younger Children
• Younger Readers
• Older Readers

You can also download a voting form here and send it back to the address on the form.

Group voting instructions

The easiest way to collect group votes is to collect the data in a table like the example below (one table for each category you are voting in) and then transfer this to the online voting form.

In the example above there are 6 children voting in this class. Each child gives each book a position from 1st to 4th based on their own order of preference.

You will then need to total up the number of 1st place votes for each book, then 2nd place votes and so on. Use this information to complete the online voting form (see below). The votes for each position and the votes for each book should total the number of children who voted, in this case 6.

Don't worry, if your totals don't add up on the voting form, you will be prompted to correct them before submitting your votes!
