Book award stickers and licences
The Children’s Book Council of Australia is a not-for-profit organisation. We do not receive government funding and exist by supporting ourselves financially through the sale of a range of merchandise including our CBCA Book of the Year award stickers. Over the decades these stickers have become an iconic and instantly recognisable symbol highlighting books of outstanding literary merit.
Why buying the Book of the Year Award sticker matters
We produce these stickers to help publishers and booksellers promote their award-winning children’s books. They also help teachers, librarians, parents and children to identify and choose inventive, imaginative and entertaining Australian children’s literature created by the best of our authors and illustrators.
By purchasing stickers to promote their award-winning books, publishers and booksellers are also supporting a volunteer-run organisation that has been working hard for over 75 years to support and celebrate outstanding Australian children’s literature.
Available in small and large quantities
Our stickers are available in a number of options catering specifically to the needs and numbers required by individuals, small entities, through to publishing houses. If you are a creative, a librarian, a book store you are likely only looking to purchase medallion stickers in small quantities, and our A4 sheet of 35 stickers is all your need. Publishers looking to schedule new print runs of titles, or to label current stock will require our options that cater to large numbers. If you would like more information and direct access to order your stickers select from one of the two options below; small or large (Publishers only), or continue to scroll down.

When you are in the checkout simply select to pay by invoice and an invoice will be automatically emailed on confirmation of your order.
Important:
If you choose to purchase an Award sticker licence please be aware this covers printing of up to 500 copies only, after which you will need to purchase a new licence.
