The Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award is a children's choice book award. Its purpose is to encourage recreational reading among school age children.

Students in grades 3-5 who have read or listened to at least three titles from the Division I nominee list and students in grades 6-8 who have read or listened to at least three titles from the Division II nominee list are eligible to vote for the Maud Hart Lovelace Award. This year's winners* and next year's nominees are announced by the MYRA executive board on Maud Hart Lovelace's birthday, April 25. The winning authors are invited to award presentations at the Minnesota Educational Media Organization's annual conference. * The nominee lists are not intended to be an automatic recommendation of the books.
