ATTEND THE AWARDS GALA

The Operation Literacy Awards Gala includes a VIP reception, a semi-formal dinner, a silent auction featuring products from generous local businesses, and a program held in conjunction with StoryCon at the Salt Palace on February 21, 2025. This year's theme is Once Upon a Time.

The evening program includes:

  • Teen Readers' Choice Awards: The only national book award for professional authors decided by teens! 

  • Book Hero Awards: Recognizing individuals, educators, and organizations in our community who are making strides to elevate children's literacy.

  • Recognition of the teens published in Operation Literacy's annual Short Story Anthology and Poetry Collection. Both bodies of work are published in partnership with Owl Hollow Press.
