The UKLA Children’s Publishing Awards are presented bi-ennially. They are distinguished from other book awards by focusing on literacy. Literacy is interpreted here as being about the expression of meaning and ideas through challenging use of language, imaginative expression, illustration and other graphics. Thus the awards are not given solely on the basis of content but also on the means of expression. UKLA invites you to submit publications published in 2007 and 2008 for these awards. There are different categories of awards: picture book, fiction, non-fiction.
Publishers are invited to submit three copies of each title to be entered to the UKLA Publications Office care of:
