The Edgar also has a juvenile category. Are one of those winners allowed if the IL rating is high enough? E.g. OCDaniel, Edgar Award for Best Juvenile (2017), IL: MG+

As long as the ARBookfinder scores work, that category is fine.

Are the 2018 nominees included? I just looked at the website for the Edgars and chose a 2018 nominee, but since mysteries are my favorites, reading another book won't kill me
Thanks,
Andy
