The nominator should submit a completed submission form to GLLI Translated YA Book Prize committee chair Gina Kromhout (gkromhout@bklynlibrary.org). If the nominator is not the publisher, then GLLI will contact the publisher to request submission. Publishers have the right to accept or reject nominations of their titles.
● Publishers are to mail one hard copy and email one digital copy (PDF preferred) of the book to committee chair Gina Kromhout (gkromhout@bklynlibrary.org; 9727 Seaview Ave. Brooklyn NY 11236). Digital copies will not be distributed outside the committee.
