It's my weekly Graphic Rave email reminder where I encourage you to nominate titles before June 1st.  Since June 1st is tomorrow (what.) - please send me all of your final nominations before midnight tomorrow.



All the pertinent info is listed below.  I've also attached the spreadsheet with currently nominated titles to this email with all the new recommendations in red.  There are also a few titles in green - they were published outside of our specified dates of publication for this year's list (May 1, 2015-April 30, 2016).



Let me know if you have questions, and make sure to send nominations to:  traci.l.glass at ci.eugene.or.us<mailto:traci.l.glass at ci.eugene.or.us> by midnight tomorrow night.  Next steps:  voting!  I'll send out all the voting information on June 15th, and then we'll have a month to vote before we get together for the Summer OYAN meeting to hash out the results!



Thank you!

Traci

Hi!



Guess what?  It's time for Graphic Rave nominations!!  For those of you who are new to OYAN or just forgotten - the Graphic Rave is OYAN's annual list of the best graphic novels, comics and manga for teens.  The process will be almost, if not totally, identical to the process we all go through to come up with our Book Rave list.



Only books published from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016 can be included on the 2016 Graphic Rave.



Here are the requirements of the list:

*         Only one book per author, per genre will be included.

*         Only one title in a series will be considered per year (it does not need to be the first volume).
