Any books first published in 2021 or 2022 that are not part of a series that has previously won the award are eligible for the 2023 awards.

The Buckeye Children’s and Teen Book Awards is Ohio’s readers’ choice book award program for students in grades K-12. It was established in 1981 and is a collaborative project of the Ohio Educational Library Media Association, Ohio Council of Teachers of English Language Arts, Ohio Library Council, the Kent State University School of Information, the Ohio Literacy Association, and the State Library of Ohio. It is one of the few readers’ choice awards in which exclusively students (not adults) make all the nominations as well as vote for the winners.
