ASTRID LINDGREN MEMORIAL AWARD 2016
This nomination list contains the names of 215 candidates from 59 countries. The list wouldn´t be possible without the work of over a hundred nominating bodies all over the world. We are deeply grateful for their valuable work in providing us with material and information describing the quality in each and every candidate’s work.
One or several laureates from this list will be selected and announced in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday April 5, 2016.
So far, fifteen laureates have been rewarded by the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award jury. Seven authors, two illustrators and three authors and illustrators have been honored with the award.
The 2015 laureate PRAESA, Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa, is the third reading promotion organisation to receive the award. Previously rewarded are Banco del Libro from Venezuela and the Palestinian organisation the Tamer Institute for Community Education.
The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the world’s largest award for children’s and young adult literature. The award amounts to SEK 5 million and is given annually to a single laureate or to several. Authors, illustrators, oral storytellers and reading promoters are eligible for the award, which is designed to promote interest in children’s and young adult literature. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is the foundation of our work. An expert jury selects the laureate(s) from candidates nominated by institutions and organisations all over the world. The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award was founded by the Swedish government in 2002 and is administrated by the Swedish Arts Council. www.alma.se/en
