Nominations

Participating schools propose lists of titles representing a range of interest and reading levels. Schools may invite students and teachers to nominate their favourite titles. The lists may include non-fiction and fiction.

Nomination Criteria

All selected titles must have a publishing date of not more than two years. e.g. The 2022-2023 list must have a 2021-2023 copyright. If necessary, older titles will be considered at the SGIS Librarians' discretion.
If the book has been translated into English then the copyright date of the translated copy must be no more than three years. e.g. For 2022-2023 the years allowed would be between 2020-2023.
Recommended titles will be brought to the Spring SGIS Librarians meeting and chosen at that time.
Half the titles must be student choice if possible. e.g. For the Braunvieh category, four of these titles will have been nominated by students, and four by the Librarians.
All titles must have been reviewed by at least one literary magazine.
e-Books can be nominated, but must also be available in print format.
Titles can be published in any of the Swiss national languages.
Titles in each category must represent the range of reading ability within those grades.
There will be four awards, one for each of the following categories: Braunvieh, Evolène, Herens and Simmental. Students choose which of the categories in which to read, regardless of grade level.
