The 90-Second Newbery Film Festival: New York Style
November 7, 2011 By 22 Comments
If you’ve read my blog in the last year you may have heard me mention a little something called the 90-Second Newbery Film Festival. Said aloud it sounds like The 92nd Newbery Film Festival (which is not too far off since 2012 will be the 90th Newbery Award). However the entire premise was this: Kids [...]

Oh good. Now we have a rallying cry. Bonus. Thanks to Maureen Johnson for the link. Travis at 100 Scope Notes recently discovered the author video cache to beat all author video caches. As he puts it “I challenge you to a good ol’ fashioned game of ‘I Bet I Can Find a Video Interview [...]

How it all began is anybody’s guess, but it probably started with YA author James Kennedy. On a day like any other I received an email from him with a proposal: Why not have a contest where kids created videos of their favorite Newbery books. The catch? All the videos must be 90 seconds or [...]

The first major award to be offered to a book trailer for a children’s or YA book, the nominees are in and the voting (which you may participate in) will continue until October 22nd.

While my friend Davin has applied at The Museum of Science and Industry for their Month at the Museum assignment, I must admit that he’s not my only friend vying for the position. Over in Maine you’ve got your Leila Roy applying (though sadly she hasn’t let us see her entry). Another applicant is YA [...]
