One Way to Wonder 
Sounds like a fantastic competition. Do you know if they do one for children’s chapter books or picture books?
Unfortunately, the only children’s book category they consider is YA. The others are all for adults. Perhaps in future years that will change. I don’t know the reasons, but have my personal suspicions. Right now the biggest market for e-books and/or POD (CreateSpace) is un-illustrated fiction. Those books are the easiest to produce and have the highest demand.
