The Minnesota Center for the Book will promote the National Book Festival through the creation of a bookstore-based People's Choice award that will determine the favorite authors of Minnesotans. The balloting will take place throughout September in bookstores throughout the state. Each site will be provided with 250 ballots for a total of 25,000 votes. All publicity materials provided to the stores will highlight both the Minnesota People's Choice Award and the National Book Festival. The results will be announced simultaneously on Oct. 12 at the Minnesota Center for the Book (with local television coverage) and at the Minnesota table in the Pavilion of the States at the National Book Festival.
