What is a Book Trailer?
A book trailer is a video setting the tone and summarizing the plot of a book. Like movie trailers, book trailers give viewers a visual representation of a novel. We challenge you to create an exciting and engaging trailer that will entice viewers into reading the book.

All video submissions with completed entry forms will be posted online from May 1 through May 8 for voting. You may vote multiple times during that time period. The top three trailers from each age group will receive prizes.
Winners will be announced on May 9 via email and prizes will be mailed out to the winners.
