Worried that you've missed the deadline to apply for a Cybils panel? Well, you've still got time--but only until Friday, August 31st! And we've got a few panels that still need love, too. So, bloggers--if you've got an interest in MG/YA Nonfiction, Poetry, or Easy Readers/Short Chapter Books, then we ESPECIALLY want you to fill in our application form.

Whether you're a Cybils veteran or a complete newbie, we welcome your enthusiasm and encourage you to apply. You don't have to be a professional reviewer, either. If you've got a blog and can demonstrate that you post regularly about whatever category you apply for, that's what we really want to know.

For more information on what Cybils judging entails, please read our information page.
