Angus Book Award

The Angus Book Award is a literary award for UK authors of teenage fiction. It is awarded by Angus Council in Scotland. The award is decided by the votes of the secondary schools in Angus. The pupils host the awards every year. The ceremony is hosted by a different school each year. For example in 2007 the award was hosted in Arbroath High School by Christy Scott and Jason McNulty both of which were current third year pupils.
