Esther Glen Award

New Zealand children's literature award

The Esther Glen Award, or LIANZA Esther Glen Junior Fiction Award, is the longest running and the most renowned literary prize for New Zealand children's literature.[1]

History

The prize was called into being in memory of New Zealand writer Alice Esther Glen (1881–1940) who was the first notable author of children's books there. It has been awarded yearly (with some exceptions) since 1945 by the Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa (LIANZA) to a New Zealand author "for the most distinguished contribution to New Zealand literature for junior fiction".[2][3]
