I excluded The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings from my criteria because 1) they seem to be for general audiences and not specifically YA, and 2) in my mind they'll always win every contest, they're The Cannon to which I compare most 20th century fiction. It didn't seem quite fair to include them. :) I had to think harder to come up with my list of five.
I also haven't read the other four winners, so I will have to check them out.
