Hans Christian Andersen Award
The
Hans Christian Andersen Award
, sometimes known as the Little
Nobel Prize
, is an international award given bianually by the
International Board on Books for Young People
(IBBY) in recognition of a "lasting contribution to
children's literature
". There are two categories of award winners:
authors
, and
illustrators
. The prize is named after the
Danish
author
Hans Christian Andersen
, and winners receive a gold medal from the hand of the
Queen of Denmark
. In addition to the Award, IBBY publishes a biennual "Honor List" of excellent new children's books, which are selected by the different national sections of IBBY, and recognize excellence in writing, illustration and translation of children's books.
