Storylines Notable Book Awards

The Storylines Notable Book Awards constitute an annual list of exceptional and outstanding books for children and young people published in New Zealand, by New Zealand authors and illustrators, during the previous calendar year.

History

The Storylines Notable Book Awards began in 1999 and have been announced each year since then.[1][2][3]

The list is announced each year in March and the awards are made at the Storylines Margaret Mahy Awards Day together with the Margaret Mahy Medal and Lecture, and the announcement of the winners of the Storylines Tessa Duder Award, Tom Fitzgibbon Award, Joy Cowley Award and the Gaelyn Gordon Award for a Much-Loved Book. This event is held in Auckland on the weekend closest to 2 April, International Children’s Book Day (and the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen).[4]

Eligibility and conditions

• The books named as Storylines Notable Books are chosen by a panel of experts (appointed by Storylines) who may include writers, illustrators, teachers, librarians and academics.
• Criteria includes literary merit, book design and editing, plot, characterisation, dialogue and general appeal and appropriateness for the intended audience.[5]
• Books are listed in several categories: Picture Book, Junior Fiction, Young Adult and Non Fiction. For the 2019 Awards, there is a judging panel for the first time for books published in te reo Māori. and Te Reo Māori.[1]
• Up to ten awards are given in each category, although one or two more may be added if the standard is very high.[2]
• Anthologies can be included, as can titles by New Zealand writers and illustrators which have been published internationally.[6]
• Some books which do not make the Notable Books List are given a Special Mention because of their contribution to their particular genre.
