Busted bracket? Try playing March Medals Madness instead!

Help spread the word to your audiences (especially those working in adult services, readers’ advisory, collection development and programming) about the 2015 Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence in Fiction and Nonfiction!

Vote for six titles from the longlist (three fiction, three nonfiction) that you think will be selected for the 2015 shortlist. The player that matches the most titles will win a $50 cash card and a full set of the 2015 shortlist titles. The drawing will remain open until noon on Sunday, April 5, 2015. The shortlist will be announced on April 6.
