THE CBCA SUN PROJECT

The CBCA is thrilled to announce that we have received funding from the Australian Federal Government RiSE grant program to officially seed our Sun Project: Illuminating Children’s Literature — Shadow Judging for 2022.

This first project will enable groups of young people across Australia to judge our CBCA Book of the Year Shortlist alongside our esteemed judging panel. These groups will be participating in a critical conversation and responding creatively. Each of the funded groups will receive a voucher to purchase the shortlisted books in their chosen category and to organise a visit from a creative so they can share insights on how they weave literary techniques into great storytelling. In August, at the end of CBCA Book Week we will be presenting a Shadowers’ Choice Award.
Further information is available in the Shadow Judging Briefing Presentation below and you can nominate to get involved by submitting the Expression of Interest form.
