The Hugo Awards are in the process of adding a new YA category, for works of speculative fiction predominantly aimed at young readers. And now they want help naming them!
The new award will have its own special name (so it won't just be "The Hugo Award for Young Adult Fiction") and the organising committee are looking for suggestions. There have been suggestions to name the award of a predominant YA author or character, as well as a more descriptive title (like "The Gateway Award" or "Threshold Award").
If you have an idea, let them know via their Twitter account, Facebook page or website.
That's also because it won't be a Hugo Award. It will be a parallel award, like the Gandalfs used to be.
