Call for Roundtable Participants:
Phoenix Award Session Submission Deadline: October 21, 2022
The Phoenix Award Committee and the Phoenix Picture Book Award Committee of the Children's Literature Association are planning a joint session at the 50th Children's Literature Association Conference, on June 15-17, 2023, in Bellevue, Washington. The Phoenix Awards recognize exceptional books published twenty years previously that did not win a major award at the time, but that the committees have determined to be of lasting value.
The 2003/2023 Phoenix Award goes to Tim Tingle for Walking the Choctaw Road (Cinco Puntos 2003). The Phoenix Honor goes to Richard Maurer for The Wright Sister: Katharine Wright and her Famous Brothers (Roaring Brook 2003). The 2003/2023 Phoenix Picture Book Award goes to Marla Frazee for Roller Coaster (Harcourt 2003). The Phoenix Picture Book Honors go to Yuyi Morales for Just a Minute: A Trickster Tale and Counting Book (Chronicle 2003) and Jerdine Nolen and Kadir Nelson for Thunder Rose (Harcourt 2003). For 2023, this session will take the form of a roundtable rather than a traditional panel to encourage more discussion and interaction among presenters and attendees. Roundtable organizers seek 250-word proposals for 5-8 minutes’ worth of remarks that focus scholarly or pedagogical attention on the winning and honor books, particularly as they relate to the conference theme of “Sustainability Through Story: Eco-Justice, Children’s Literature and Childhood” and depictions of nature, space, and place. We will invite our 2023 Phoenix authors and illustrators to attend and hope that they will join in the roundtable discussion. Proposals are due by October 21, 2022, to the two chairs:
Authors will be notified by October 28, 2022, if their proposals have been selected as part of the roundtable. Participation in the roundtable does not preclude giving a full-length paper on a different topic at the ChLA conference.If you’re submitting a proposal to the 2023 ChLA conference general call for papers, you can still submit a proposal to the Phoenix Award Roundtable. |
