Pearson Prize - Teen Choice Book Award Announced

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 22, 2008 – The Pearson Prize - Teen Choice Award is granted to the best overall Fiction and best overall Non-Fiction book sent into the Learning for a Cause Project at Lester B. Pearson High School in Montreal, Quebec in a given year.

A focus group of more than 100 high school students read, review (for classroom assignment) and rate all entries in the Pearson Prize. The highest rated Fiction and Non-Fiction books are awarded the prize. There is also a Platinum Award given to best submission from the "invited" category. Entry into this category is by private invitation only.

The Gold Medal is available to all entries. All entries are FREE and ANY book published in English and not more than 5 years old qualifies. 5 Runners-up will also be chosen. All winners and runners-up get FREE gold stickers for their books and a trophy as well as international press release coverage and more!

By entering the Pearson Prize authors are also helping one public school build its collection of books! Classrooms need books and why not yours?

"Our classrooms are without books. Any books! We need books. Also, students need to read and when they are reading for a purpose - such as judging a book award - they are more engaged, more focused. This award was a great chance to honour less known books, books from small presses and, at the same time, get books for our students to read," said Sweet the prize's founder.
