WAYBRA
Western Australian Young Readers' Book Awards

The WAYRBA (Western Australia Young Readers' Book Awards) is the Western Australian popular choice award and was the first popular choice award to be established among the Australian states. Two lists of titles are drawn up by the Committee from young readers suggestions for the two age levels, and they then go to a popular vote throughout the year. They are open to any titles, both Australian and overseas.
