(Redirected from New Zealand Children's Book Awards)

The New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults are a series of literary awards presented annually to recognise excellence in children's and young adult's literature in New Zealand. The awards were founded in 1982, and have had several title changes until the present title was introduced in 2015. In 2016 the awards were merged with the LIANZA children's book awards. As of 2023 the awards are administered by the New Zealand Book Awards Trust and each category award carries prize money of NZ$7,500.

History

edit

The awards began in 1982, as the New Zealand Government Publishing Awards,[1] with two categories, Children's Book of the Year and Picture Book of the Year.[2] A non-fiction award was presented in 1986, but not in 1987 or 1988, the final years of this incarnation of the awards.[1][3]

No awards were presented in 1989. In 1990, Unilever New Zealand (then the New Zealand manufacturer of Aim toothpaste) restarted the awards as the AIM Children's Book Awards.[4][2][1][5][6] There were two categories at that time, Fiction and Picture Book.[7][8] Second and third prizes were originally awarded, though these were replaced with honour awards in 1993, presented at the judges' discretion.[9][8] More categories were added over time: Best First Book in 1992 (not presented 1994–5); Non-Fiction in 1993, when Fiction was split into two categories (Senior Fiction and Junior Fiction); and AIM Book of the Year in 1995.[3][7][10]

In 1997, the awards became the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards, and another new category was added, the New Zealand Post Children's Choice award.[4] In 2004, the Senior Fiction category was renamed to Young Adult Fiction and the name of the awards changed to New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults.[11][12]

In 2015 the title of the awards changed to the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. At this time the awards were administered by Booksellers New Zealand, an industry organisation,[9][4][13] and were presented at the end of a 10-day festival organised by the New Zealand Book Council each May.[14]

In 2016, the awards merged with the Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa (LIANZA) Awards, and became administered by the New Zealand Book Awards Trust.[15][16] As a consequence of the merge, the Junior Fiction category prize was combined with the LIANZA Esther Glen Award for junior fiction and the Non-Fiction award was combined with the LIANZA Elsie Locke Award for Non-Fiction]. In addition, two new categories were introduced via the LIANZA Russell Clark Award for Illustration and the LIANZA Te Kura Pounamu Award for works written in te reo Māori (the Māori language).[17]

Prizes

edit

As of 2023, the winners of the category awards are awarded NZ$7,500, with the New Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year winner receiving an additional $7,500.[18] The Picture Book prize money is split evenly between the author and the illustrator of the book.[9] Winners of the Best First Book and New Zealand Post Children's Choice awards receive $2,000 each, and any finalists presented an Honour Award receive $500 each.[9]

Awards

edit

Children's Book of the Year

edit

Now called the New Zealand Post Margaret Mahy Book of the Year,[19] this award is presented to a book "which, in the opinion of the judges, achieves outstanding excellence in all general judging criteria".[9] As of 2013, winners receive $7,500 (in addition to the $7,500 prize for winning in their category).[9] Currently called the New Zealand Post Children's Book of the Year award, this award was originally known as the New Zealand Children's Book of the Year Award, presented from 1982 to 1988.[9][20] When the New Zealand Government Publishing Awards finished in 1988, the award ceased to exist until 1995, when the AIM Children's Book Awards established the AIM Book of the Year.[4][20]

Winners of the Fiction category in 1990 to 1992, when there was no Book of the Year award and the only additional category was Picture Book (and Best First Book in 1992), have been considered Book of the Year winners.[8][10][20][21]

Children's Choice

edit

In 2015 for the first time, children chose the finalist list for the Children's Choice awards. With 6,000 students putting their votes in for all 149 of the titles submitted for the awards, the finalists were announced on 9 June. This began the second stage of voting, which saw just under 16,000 students post their votes for the Children's Choice winners.

Until 2014, the Children's Choice award was chosen from the finalists in all categories below by a public vote open to school aged children, and is considered one of the highest accolades in the awards.[47][35][48] As of 2013 winners of the Children's Choice award receive a prize of $2,000.[9]

The Children's Choice award was created at the first New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards in 1997, and has been presented every year since.[4][49] Despite being open to finalists from all categories, as of 2013 all winners have been from the Picture Book category.[49][50] From 2010 the winners of each category have also been announced.[49]

Categories

edit

Picture Book

edit

The Picture Book category is for titles in which the illustrations "carry the impact of the story" along with the text.[9] These can be titles for children or young adults, but illustrations have to make up at least half of the content, and these illustrations must be original, not compiled from other sources.[9] As of 2012, winners receive a prize of $7,500, split evenly between the author and the illustrator.[9][35]

"Picture Book" is the only category to be included in every awards ceremony, and was first presented in 1982 as "Picture Book of the Year" in the New Zealand Government Publishing Awards.[8] There were no awards ceremonies in 1989, but the category was resurrected in the first AIM Children's Book Awards in 1990 as "Picture Book", and has retained the name to this day.[4][8][35]

Non-fiction

edit

The Non-fiction category is for titles in "which present well-authenticated data, with consideration given to imaginative presentation, interpretation and style".[9] Titles for children or young adults can be included in this category, but not textbooks, resource kits, poetry, folklore, or retellings of myths and legends.[9] As of 2012, winners in the Non-fiction category receive a prize of $7,500.[9][35]

The Non Fiction category was added in 1986 to the New Zealand Government Publishing Awards, but removed again in 1987.[3] The category was not resurrected until 1993, as part of the AIM Children's Book Awards.[3] From 2008, the category's name has been hyphenated.[30][31][35]

In 2016, when the awards merged with the LIANZA Awards, this category was merged with the Elsie Locke Award for Non-Fiction and renamed the Elsie Locke Non-Fiction Award.[73][74]

Fiction

edit

The Fiction category is for works of creative writing, in which the text constitutes the "heart of the book".[9] The category was added with the creation of the AIM Children's Book Awards in 1990, but was split into Junior Fiction and Senior Fiction in 1993.[7] The name of the Senior Fiction category was later to change to Young Adult Fiction in 2004.[11][12]

As of 2012, winners in either Fiction category receive a prize of $7,500.[9][35]

Winners of the Fiction category in 1990 to 1992, when there was no Book of the Year award and the only additional category was Picture Book (and Best First Book in 1992), have been considered Book of the Year winners.[8][10][20][21]
