The Dramatic Return of the Best Award in Children’s Books: The Undies Are Back!

February 24, 2020 by Travis Jonker

You thought this was over?!

No, no, no. The Undies Case Cover Awards are making a triumphant return in 2020. Carter Higgins and I are getting the band back together to highlight the best case covers of the year.

What is a case cover? This is a case cover:

And we want to award the cream of the crop.

Here’s how The Undies will work:

Now through November 1st, 2020 we are accepting nominations* for the best case covers of books publishing in 2020.

In November, Carter and I will announce shortlists in a variety of categories and then we’ll open up the polls. The winner will be decided by popular vote (see also: you). We’ll announce the winners shortly thereafter.

*To nominate a case cover for the 2020 Undies:

Check out the case cover gallery we have going at Carter Higgins’s website – if the case cover you want to nominate is already there, no need to nominate it again.
Make sure your nomination was published in 2020.
If the case cover you want to nominate is NOT in the gallery and WAS published in 2020, take a picture and send it to Carter at hello (at) carterhiggins (dot) com. Put THE UNDIES in the subject line.

Anyone (including publishers) can nominate.

It’s time to recognize this unsung part of the book – what do you say?
