The reading contest officially begins after the SDLA Annual Conference 
.
Voting (online only) concludes March 31; winning titles will be announced during National Library Week in April.
Online Voting is Open!
Deadline for voting will be March 31.
The coordinating teacher or librarian may use nominee list to record vote tallies received for each title. Each coordinating teacher or librarian will only be allowed to vote once.
The Book award committee will compile the vote tallies from all participating schools and the winners will be announced during National Library Week, every April.
The Prairie Bud & Pasque Children’s Book Awards are sponsored by the South Dakota Library Association. Prairie Bud winners are determined by South Dakota kindergarten, first and second grade students. Prairie Pasque winners are determined by South Dakota third, fourth, and fifth grade students. Students are encouraged to read and vote for their one favorite book of the year from the masterlists of titles. The books receiving the most votes from the students win the awards. A committee of educators and librarians select the books nominated for the awards.
