The Teen Connection Panel is your chance to ask authors Todd Mitchell and Maggie Stiefvater questions for the audience. You will sit at a table in front of an audience of around 300 people and speak into a microphone to ask your questions. To prepare, you will need to read books by both authors and prepare 5 thoughtful questions to ask both of them. Please work with a parent, teacher, or librarian to ensure your questions are suitable, and contact us if you need advice.
Panelists' registration is paid by a grant from the University of Colorado Denver, including conference registration and lunch at the 24th Annual Colorado Teen Literature Conference scheduled for SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 2012, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM at the TIVOLI CONFERENCE CENTER, AURARIA CAMPUS, DENVER, COLORADO. Panelists are expected to attend the entire conference.
ELIGIBILITY: Students in grades 6-12 (including teens who are homeschooled) are eligible to apply. Teens may self-nominate or be nominated by a teacher or librarian.
Applications are due Friday, March 2, 2012. Be sure to include all the requested information as this form will be the conference registration if you are chosen as a panelist. Panelists will be notified before the general conference registration deadline. Conference participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the conference.
