The CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2017

13th December 2017

Test

The Kate Greenaway Medal was established in 1955, for distinguished illustration in a book for children. It is named after the popular and highly influential nineteenth century artist known for her fine children's illustrations and designs. Awarded annually, the Medal is the only prize in the UK to solely reward outstanding illustration in a children's book.

Previous winners include Levi Pinfold, Raymond Briggs, Shirley Hughes, former Children's Laureates Quentin Blake and Anthony Brown, and current Children's Laureate Chris Riddell.

The winner receives a golden medal and £500 worth of books to donate to a library of their choice. Since 2000, the winner of the Kate Greenaway Medal has also been awarded the £5,000 Colin Mears Award. Colin Mears, a Worthing based accountant and children's book collector, left a bequest providing every Greenaway winner with a cash award as well as the coveted Medal.

This year, 2017, marks the 60th Anniversary of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal and continues throughout the year - until December 2017.  See how you can get involved.

The Marvels by Brian Selznick

The story cleverly combines that of the Marvels - a theatrical dynasty from the 1700s whose grandfather Billy was ship-wrecked - with a more contemporary tale of Joseph who has run away from boarding schools. This is a story of relationships and connections told through the piecing together of different media that embraces pictures, letters, newspaper reporting and story.
