Children's book awards have mushroomed since the early twentieth-century and especially since the 1960s, when literary prizing became a favored strategy for both commercial promotion and canon-making. There are over 300 awards for English-language titles alone, but despite the profound impact of children’s book awards, scholars have paid relatively little attention to them. This book is the first scholarly volume devoted to the analysis of Anglophone children's book awards in historical and cultural context. With attention to both political and aesthetic concerns, the book offers original and diverse scholarship on prizing practices and their consequences in Australia, Canada, and especially the United States. Contributors offer both case studies of particular awards and analysis of broader trends in literary evaluation and elevation, drawing on theoretical work on canonization and cultural capital. Sections interrogate the complex and often unconscious ideological work of prizing, the ongoing tension between formalist awards and so-called identity-based awards — all the more urgent in light of the "We Need Diverse Books" campaign — the ever-morphing forms and parameters of prizing, and scholarly practices of prizing. Among the many awards discussed are the Pura Belpré Medal, the Inky Awards, the Canada Governor General Literary Award, the Printz Award, the Best Animated Feature Oscar, the Phoenix Award, and the John Newbery Medal, giving due attention to prizes for fiction as well as for non-fiction, poetry, and film. This volume will interest scholars in literary and cultural studies, social history, book history, sociology, education, library and information science, and anyone concerned with children's literature.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK

First published in 1998, this book is the first comprehensive survey of the awards made to children’s books in the English-speaking world. The Volume covers nearly forty different prizes including well-known and established ones such as the Newbury Award, prizes instigated by the commercial sector such as the Smarties Prize, as well as nationally sponsored awards and prizes for illustrators. Detailed lists are provided of the winning titles and, where appropriate, the runners-up in each year that the award has been given. Ruth Allen also presents some fascinating and often entertaining insights into the motivations behind awards and how they are views by authors, illustrators, publishers, librarians, booksellers and potential purchasers. The various criteria applied by judges of these awards are also examined, with an assessment of whether they have always achieved the ‘right’ result. This Volume is both a useful guide for adults wishing to buy good books for children and an important tool for those researching the history of the children’s book industry.

For the first time since 1996 and since the launch of Awards & Prizes Online in 2003, a print edition of Children?s Books: Awards & Prizes (Children?s Book Council, 0-933633-07-6, $150, December 2005) is available to libraries, schools, bookstores, and the general public. This new edition of Children?s Books: Awards & Prizes, the eleventh since 1960, follows the format of the previous edition, published in 1996. It contains 288 awards and prizes, in four sections: United States Awards Selected by Adults; United States Awards Selected by Young Readers; Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and United Kingdom Awards; and Selected International and Multinational Awards. Thirty-three awards listed in the 1996 edition have since been renamed. Previous names are noted in the award descriptions. Twenty-eight awards listed in the 1996 edition are not included in this print edition. These awards include any awards terminated prior to the year 2000.One-hundred and three awards have been added since the 1996 edition. Many of these are new awards initiated since 1996, but many are well-established prizes. The CBC was able to make this large increase in the number of awards and prizes tracked due to advances in technology. Organizational websites regularly post such information, and awards announcements arrive in CBC e-mail inboxes on a regular basis. However, the biggest leap in the use of technology was made by the CBC itself. The details of all of these awards, including the ones no longer included in this print edition, are tracked in an online, dynamic database called Awards & Prizes Online.Awards & Prizes Online combines the comprehensive information of the print edition with the flexibility of a dynamic database. It is fully searchable by author or illustrator, book title, award title, publisher, keywords, and grade level or age level. A one-year subscription to Awards & Prizes Online is $150, and a one-day subscription is $9.95. The print edition and a one-year subscription can be purchased together for $200. Please visit awardsandprizes.cbcbooks.org for more information. The CBC is pleased to make this print-on-demand edition available to the children?s book community. It is up-to-date through September 2005 and will be updated annually.
