Now that the 2013 nomination process has been completed, SFWA is looking for a Norton jury for the 2014 award.

The 2012 Andre Norton Award committee has been chosen, and will begin accepting books for consideration. Any young adult/middle grade prose or graphic novel first published in English in 2012 is eligible.
