The McNally Robinson Book for Young People Award is associated with the Manitoba Book Awards and was first sponsored by McNally Robinson Booksellers in 1997 and since then has been given in two categories: Young Adult and Children. It is presented to the two Manitoba writers whose books for young people are judged the best written. The two winning authors each receive a cash award.
