Scottish Children's Book Award

Scotland’s largest book prize for children’s authors and illustrators, the Scottish Children’s Book Awards are run by Scottish Book Trust and supported by Creative Scotland through Regular Funding. They celebrate the most popular children’s and young adult books by Scottish authors or illustrators and are voted for exclusively by children. There are three age categories - Bookbug Readers (3-7), Younger Readers (8-11) and Older Readers (12-16). Children across Scotland are encouraged to read the three shortlisted books in their age category and to vote for their favourite.
