As World Almanac For Kids prepares to launch on the Infobase platform, we’re opening the naming process to the people who know it best. Submit your ideas, vote on the finalists, and help decide what millions of young learners will know this resource as next.
Submit your idea & put your stamp on educational history
World Almanac For Kids has helped generations of students begin exploring the world—from their first classroom reports to the questions that keep them daydreaming.
That legacy belongs to the educators and librarians who have kept it alive in classrooms and libraries for decades. So when it came time to giving World Almanac For Kids a new name, there was only one place to turn.
Between now and April 5, submit the name you think millions of students should grow up knowing. In April, we’ll send the community a shortlist of finalists to vote on, and in June, the educator or librarian behind the winning name takes home a $500 Amazon gift card.
