Bilby stands for Books I Love Best Yearly.The Bilby Awards are Queensland's children's choice awards. They are run by the Children's Book Council of Australia (Queensland Branch).
At the beginning of each year, students in Queensland schools are asked to enter the name of their favourite book. They are not limited in any way, except winners from the previous two years are not eligible. A shortlist is developed from the entries. These are published as lists covering three levels of reading maturity: Older Readers (12 years and older); Younger Readers (9 to 11 years)and Early Readers (8 years and younger).
Students are then asked to read titles from the list, and to vote for the one book that they "love the best". Once the final votes have been counted, BILBY prize winners are announced in September on International Literacy Day.Also of interest? Queensland Premier's Literary Awards.
