History of the Awards - Previous Winners

The first Australian Children's Book of the Year Award was made in 1946. At that time and until 1952, there was only one award. The Picture Book of the Year Award was established as a separate award in 1952. Until 1982, there was no division between Older and Younger Readers. The Eve Pownall Award for information books was presented by Eve Pownall's family in 1988, then by the Children's Book Council from 1993. The Early Childhood Award was introduced in 2001. A complete list of winners, honour books and shortlisted books for the Book of the Year Awards is available at a cost of A$5.00 from Reading Time, PO Box 62, Ashmont, NSW, 2650, Australia
