Jewish Children’s Book Awards
Deadline November 29 (must be received by this date), formerly October 23.

Submissions may also be made in French, German, Italian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, and Yiddish. No simultaneous submissions. Enter online, and be sure to include an explanatory note in English describing the Jewish content in under 200 words. All entries will be considered for publication by contest sponsor Green Bean Books, a family-owned Jewish children's book publisher.
