ABOUT BRISTOL TEEN BOOK AWARDS

The Bristol Teen Book Award is an annual award that celebrates and highlights excellent literature for teens. It's run by The School Library Association West of England Branch. 

When the Award was started it had a clear focus on diversity, and since then has consistently recognised a diverse range of voices and styles, and has featured books that present individual perspectives and experiences, including those that are often unheard or forgotten.

The books on the BTBA shortlist are nominated in an open submission process by Bristol students, librarians, and teachers. The nominations are then shortlisted by the BTBA working group, based on the adherence to the Award Criteria, and with specific consideration for individual merit, general appeal, experiences presented, readability, format, innovation, and cohesion as a six-book list. Current Award Criteria stipulates that books must have been published between January 2022 and June 2023, be written by an author based in the UK or Ireland, and be suitable for a teen audience.
