Journalist and author Barbara Ellen
Author and reviewer Mary Hoffman
Chartered Librarian Barbara Band
2009 Booktrust Teenage Prize young judge Claudia Freemantle.
Tony Bradman comments:
‘I was delighted when Booktrust asked me to be Chair of Judges for the Booktrust Teenage Prize 2010. It’s a fascinating area of children’s books, not least because it’s usually assumed that getting teenagers to engage with books is a tough call. But from what I’ve seen I think that writers and publishers are definitely rising to the challenge! We have a formidably strong team of judges (of all ages!), and I’m looking forward to reading lots of great books and having some interesting discussions.’

The competition which is open to 11-16-year-olds in England, will launch on the 9 June when entry packs and information will be sent out to secondary schools across the country with the 2010-2011 Booked Up registration forms.
