Storylines, in line with its general advocacy for the development of New Zealand children’s literature, offers 11 awards to writers, illustrators, publishers and those working in the field of children’s literature and literacy.
|
These awards are nationally and internationally recognised, acknowledging achievement and service and providing opportunities for established, emerging and new talent. |
Several Storylines awards are presented at the annual Storylines Margaret Mahy National Awards Day, usually in early April each year. The recipient of the Storylines Margaret Mahy Medal is announced in advance, and presents a lecture on a topic of their choice. All Storylines awards are chosen by appointed panels of acknowledged experts in children's literature, among them authors, illustrators, teachers, children's librarians, academics and whanau. |
