carnegie.png award

The Carnegie Medal is awarded each year to one outstanding new book for children or young adults.

The Medal was named after the Scottish-born American philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.

The Carnegie Medal is the UK’s oldest and most prestigious book award for children’s writing.

No Award was given in 1943, 1945, or 1966. That is because no book was considered suitable.
