Kate Greenaway Medal

From AwardAnnals

The Kate Greenaway Medal was established in 1955, for distinguished illustration in a book for children. It is named after the popular nineteenth century artist known for her fine children's illustrations and designs.

The medal is now awarded by CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, which is a new organisation formed by the Unification of the Institute of Information Scientists and The Library Association on 1 April 2002.

Notes

• Prior to 2007, the award is identified with the year of eligibility. Now the year of the award ceremony is used. Consequently, there is no award for 2006.
• No medal was awarded in 1955 or 1958 due to a lack of suitable nominees.
• In four different years two books by the same author won. In 1969 Helen Oxenbury won for both The Quangle Wangle's Hat and The Dragon of an Ordinary Family. In 1975 Victor Ambrus won for both Horses in Battle and Mishka. In 1982 Michael Foreman won for both Long Neck and Thunder Foot and Sleeping Beauty and Other Favourite Fairy Tales. In 1959 William Stobbs won for Kashtanka and A Bundle of Ballads.
