With the OLA conference drawing near, it is time to celebrate excellence in teen services. With the challenging year we’ve had and the way you and your libraries have risen to the occasion, there is no shortage of worthy recipients. To that end, we are soliciting nominations for the OYEA! award which will be presented at the OYAN reception during the OLA conference. As the 2020 conference was cancelled, this year we will have a double award with last year’s and this year’s winner being presented with the award!

The eligibility requirements are as follows:
- The individual, library, organization, or initiative must reside or operate primarily in Oregon
- Only living persons are eligible for the award.
- If a program or initiative is nominated, it must have occurred within the previous or current nomination year.
