The CBCA Book of the Year awards are a literary award. Recognising that children themselves may have differing opinions on the books, the CBCA support several awards which seek to poll the views of children themselves. * Books I Love Best Yearly (BILBY Awards) — CBCA Queensland Branch. * Canberra’s Own Outstanding List (COOL Awards) — Libraries ACT have been convening the COOL Awards since 1991. * Kanga (previously CROW Awards) — The CROW Award (Children Reading Outstanding Writers) was a South Australian popular choice award. After 1998 it went into recess, in 2003 it was briefly resurrected as the Kanga Awards by a consortium of bookshops, government and enthusiast bodies. * Kids Own Australian Literature Awards (KOALA) — The KOALA Awards for NSW children are managed by a volunteer committee. * Kids' Reading Oz Choice (KROC Awards) — Managed by the City of Darwin Libraries. * West Australian Young Readers' Book Awards (WAYRBA) — Was started by members of the CBCA Western Australia Branch, but is now run by a separate committee. * Young Australian Best Book Awards (YABBA) — The YABBA Awards is operated and managed by a volunteer committee.http://yabba.org.au/Young Reviewer of the Year Awards
