THE
CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS
The Children's Book Council of Australia |
These
annual awards are for books with an implied readership under the age of
eighteen, and are presented in five categories.
The Judges assess entries for the Awards primarily for literary merit,
including cohesiveness in significant literary elements; language chosen
carefully for its appropriateness to the theme and style of the work
with proper regard to the aesthetic qualities of language; and originality
in the treatment of literary elements as they apply to the form of the
work. Judges also consider quality of illustrations, book design, production,
printing and binding.
