The Black-Eyed Susan Book Award honors outstanding books chosen annually by Maryland students. After reading at least 3 of the nominated books, a student is eligible to cast one vote for the book he or she considers to be the most outstanding. This year's winner will be announced to participants at a pizza lunch in the Media Center on Tuesday, May 27.
Votes from across the state are sent to the Black-Eyed Susan committee and tallied to determine the winner. The winning authors and/or illustrators receive a pewter plate engraved with the year and the Black-Eyed Susan Book Award logo. Authors, illustrators and publishers recognize the Black-Eyed Susan Book Award as an honor bestowed by Maryland students.
