National Outstanding Children's Literature Award

The National Outstanding Children's Literature Award (Chinese: 全国优秀儿童文学奖) is a major literary award in China, established in 1986. It is run by the China Writers Association, and is awarded every three years in the categories of novels, picture books, poetry, essays and non-fiction.

It was one of a series of literary awards organised on a national level from 1978, typically known as "National Outstanding" prizes.[citation needed] In the 1950s there had been awards for theatrical works and performance, but not for fiction, poetry and the other arts.[1]
