Environment Award for Children's Literature
On World Environment Day each year, the Wilderness Society announces the winner of its Environment Award for Children’s Literature.
The award honours books that promote a sense of caring and responsibility for the environment through quality Australian children's books.
To be eligible for the award a book must encourage caring for the natural environment. A book might highlight an environmental issue or create a sense of awe and wonder for the natural world.
The award is open to fiction and non-fiction in the categories of picture book, primary readers and secondary readers.
Invitations for submissions are sent to publishers in October, and the closing date is December 15.
To be considered for the award, find out more about the judging criteria, or for any other enquiries please contact our member relations coordinator:
