The '''Hans Christian Andersen Awards''' are two [[literary award]]s given by the [[International Board on Books for Young People]] (IBBY), recognising one living author and one living illustrator for their "lasting contribution to [[children's literature]]".<ref name=about/> The writing award was first given in 1956, the illustration award in 1966. The former is sometimes called the "[[Nobel Prize in Literature|Nobel Prize]] for children's literature".
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.


The awards are named after [[Hans Christian Andersen]], a 19th-century Danish author of [[fairy tales]], and each winner receives the Hans Christian Andersen Medaille (a gold medal with the bust of Andersen) and a diploma. Medals are presented at the biennial IBBY Congress.
__NOTOC__


== Writing ==
== History ==
The [[International Board on Books for Young People]] (IBBY) was founded by [[Jella Lepman]] in the 1950s.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=14}} The Hans Christian Andersen Award was first proposed in 1953 and awarded three years later, in 1956.{{Sfn|Ellis|1973|p=20}} It was established in the aftermath of [[World War II]] to encourage the development of high-quality children's books. The award was set to be given biennially and was initially awarded for individual works that had been published in the preceding two years.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=15}} By 1962, the award's formal criteria were amended "to a living author who is judged to have made a lasting contribution to good juvenile literature by the outstanding value of his or her work. The author's complete works, in particular those in fiction, will be taken into consideration in awarding the medal."{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=16}}
The Hans Christian Andersen Award for Writing has been awarded since 1956.


Runners up were listed in 1960, 1962, and 1964. In reflection of what IBBY considered to be a trend of increasing quality in picture books,{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=16}} the award was expanded to include illustrators in 1966.{{Sfn|Ellis|1973|p=20}} From 1966 to 1996 runners up were named as "Highly Commended". In 1998, this was replaced with a list of three to four "Finalists".{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=16}} It is sometimes called the "Little [[Nobel Prize]]" or the "Nobel Prize for children's literature"<ref>{{Cite news|title=Cao Wenxuan wins 'Nobel Prize' of children's books |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sponsored/china-watch/culture/12208887/hans-christian-andersen-award.html|access-date=24 February 2021 |website=The Telegraph |date=8 March 2017 |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=June 2006|title=Mahy wins "Little Nobel."|journal=New Zealand Books|volume=16|pages=2|issn=1170-9103|via=EBSCO}}</ref> and has been cited as the "most important activity" of IBBY.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=14}} Between 1992 and 2022, the patron of the awards was [[Queen Margrethe II of Denmark]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Latrobe|first=Kathy|date=2001|title=Childern's [sic] Literature: International Perspectives|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/40156756|journal=World Literature Today|volume=75|issue=3/4|pages=98–102|doi=10.2307/40156756|jstor=40156756 |issn=0196-3570}}</ref> A special issue of ''[[Bookbird]]'', a journal published by IBBY, is published as the award is given out.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=21}}

== Illustration ==
==Jury==
The winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards is selected by a jury which is put together by IBBY's executive committee. The Jury's president is elected by IBBY's General Assembly. There were initially seven jurors,{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=16}} but this was increased to eight and in 2000 to ten. Two years later, the jury was split with five members focusing on writing and the other five handling illustrations. The jurors are expected to be competent in children's literature and ideally represent a diverse group. It generally takes six months to review candidates and select a winner.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=17}}
The Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustration has been awarded since 1966.


Jella Lepman served as Jury President for the first three Andersen Awards, 1956 to 1960, and remained on the jury until her death in 1970, as the President of IBBY and then as its honorary president. Current four-year terms cover two award cycles. Other notable presidents have included [[Virginia Haviland]] (1970–1974), [[Patricia Crampton]] (1982–1986), and [[Ana Maria Machado]] (1986–1990).<ref>[http://www.literature.at/viewer.alo?objid=14769&viewmode=fullscreen&scale=3.33&rotate=&page=114 "Hans Christian Award jury members"].

The award's regulations read: "The Hans Christian Award is presented every two years by IBBY to an author and to an illustrator, living at the time of the nomination, who by the outstanding value of their work are judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children and young people. The complete works of the author and the illustrator will be taken into consideration in the selection process". The award is explicitly designed to be an "international" work, and it is not explicitly given to a certain country.{{Sfn|Glistrup|2002|p=16}}

Websiteibby.org

The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are two literary awards given by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), recognising one living author and one living illustrator for their "lasting contribution to children's literature".[1] The writing award was first given in 1956, the illustration award in 1966. The former is sometimes called the "Nobel Prize for children's literature".

The awards are named after Hans Christian Andersen, a 19th-century Danish author of fairy tales, and each winner receives the Hans Christian Andersen Medaille (a gold medal with the bust of Andersen) and a diploma. Medals are presented at the biennial IBBY Congress.

History

[edit]

The International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY) was founded by Jella Lepman in the 1950s.[2] The Hans Christian Andersen Award was first proposed in 1953 and awarded three years later, in 1956.[3] It was established in the aftermath of World War II to encourage the development of high-quality children's books. The award was set to be given biennially and was initially awarded for individual works that had been published in the preceding two years.[4] By 1962, the award's formal criteria were amended "to a living author who is judged to have made a lasting contribution to good juvenile literature by the outstanding value of his or her work. The author's complete works, in particular those in fiction, will be taken into consideration in awarding the medal."[5]

Runners up were listed in 1960, 1962, and 1964. In reflection of what IBBY considered to be a trend of increasing quality in picture books,[5] the award was expanded to include illustrators in 1966.[3] From 1966 to 1996 runners up were named as "Highly Commended". In 1998, this was replaced with a list of three to four "Finalists".[5] It is sometimes called the "Little Nobel Prize" or the "Nobel Prize for children's literature"[6][7] and has been cited as the "most important activity" of IBBY.[2] Between 1992 and 2022, the patron of the awards was Queen Margrethe II of Denmark.[8] A special issue of Bookbird, a journal published by IBBY, is published as the award is given out.[9]

Jury

[edit]

The winner of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards is selected by a jury which is put together by IBBY's executive committee. The Jury's president is elected by IBBY's General Assembly. There were initially seven jurors,[5] but this was increased to eight and in 2000 to ten. Two years later, the jury was split with five members focusing on writing and the other five handling illustrations. The jurors are expected to be competent in children's literature and ideally represent a diverse group. It generally takes six months to review candidates and select a winner.[10]

Jella Lepman served as Jury President for the first three Andersen Awards, 1956 to 1960, and remained on the jury until her death in 1970, as the President of IBBY and then as its honorary president. Current four-year terms cover two award cycles. Other notable presidents have included Virginia Haviland (1970–1974), Patricia Crampton (1982–1986), and Ana Maria Machado (1986–1990).[11]

Selection process

[edit]

The award's regulations read: "The Hans Christian Award is presented every two years by IBBY to an author and to an illustrator, living at the time of the nomination, who by the outstanding value of their work are judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children and young people. The complete works of the author and the illustrator will be taken into consideration in the selection process". The award is explicitly designed to be an "international" work, and it is not explicitly given to a certain country.[5]

IBBY has many member nations—all countries are eligible for membership. Every member nation has its own organization, known as a "national section", that is active across the country. All member nations can nominate candidates for consideration in the Hans Christian Andersen Awards.[12] Some member states will repeatedly nominate the same author or illustrator, others nominate a new candidate each time.[13] To nominate a candidate, a dossier is prepared that provides information including a list of works and biographical sketch. The portfolio must have between five and ten books by the candidate, which are sent to jurors, IBBY's president, and the "Jury Secretary".[5] There were sixty-six nominees from thirty-three countries for the 2022 Hans Christian Andersen awards.[14]

Each winner receives the Hans Christian Andersen Medaille, a gold medal with the bust of Andersen, and a diploma.[2] These medals are presented at the biennial IBBY Congress.[1]
