VOTING PROCEDURES

Some library media specialists include titles from more than one level in their school's voting, but each student is allowed only one vote.

Votes at the various levels (primary, intermediate, middle/junior high) should be collected by the library media specialist and sent to the Golden Archer Committee through the online Voting Ballot.  Any actual paper ballots you used or collected are not turned in to WEMTA.  You may create and use any sort of ballot you would like.

The voting period for 2011-12 has ended.  Participate again next year!

NOMINATING PROCEDURES

The library media specialist and classroom teacher solicit nominations from their students. Nominated titles are sent to the Golden Archer Committee.

Each participating school may nominate a maximum of five (5) books for each category (primary, intermediate, middle/junior high) that is represented in that school.

All nominations should include the number of students nominating each title.

Submit your 2012-13 nominations here! Final nominations are due May 1, 2012.

The winners will be announced at the annual WEMTA Conference.  Golden Archer Medal stickers are available for purchase at the WEMTA Conference.

Please email questions and suggestions to Golden Archer Committee Chair Michele Green.

The Golden Archer Award is sponsored by the Wisconsin Educational Media & Technology Association.
