McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award

The McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award is associated with Brave New Words: The Manitoba Writing and Publishing Awards and was first sponsored by McNally Robinson Booksellers in 1997 and since then has been given in two categories: Young Adult and Children. It is presented to the two Manitoba writers whose books for young people are judged the best written. The two winning authors each receive a cash award.
