The Carnegie Medal for Illustration (until 2022 the Kate Greenaway Medal [1] ) is a British award that annually recognises "distinguished illustration in a book for children". It is conferred upon the illustrator by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP) [2] which inherited it from the Library Association.
The Medal is named after the 19th-century English illustrator of children's books Kate Greenaway (1846–1901). [2] It was established in 1955 and inaugurated in 1956 for 1955 publications, but no work that year was considered suitable. [3] The first Medal was awarded in 1957 to Edward Ardizzone for Tim All Alone (Oxford, 1956), which he also wrote. That first Medal was dated 1956. Since 2007 the Medal has been dated by its presentation during the year following publication. This medal is a companion to the Carnegie Medal for Writing which recognises an outstanding work of writing for children and young adults. [4]
Nominated books must be first published in the U.K. during the preceding school year (September to August), with English-language text if any. [5]
The award by CILIP is a gold Medal and £500 worth of books donated to the illustrator's chosen library. Since 2000 there is also a £5000 cash prize from a bequest by the children's book collector Colin Mears. [2]
Library and information professionals in CILIP nominate books in September and October, after the close of the publication year. A panel of 12 children's librarians in CILIP's youth interest group judges both the Carnegie and Greenaway books. The shortlist is announced in March and the winner in June. [6]
Candidates must be published in the U.K. during the preceding year (September to August). They must be published for young people, and published in the U.K. originally or within three months in case of co-publication. English must be the language of any text, or one of dual languages. "All categories of illustrated books for children and young people are eligible." [5]
CILIP specifies numerous points of artistic style, format, and visual experience, and also "synergy of illustration and text" that should be considered. Furthermore, "The whole work should provide pleasure from a stimulating and satisfying visual experience which leaves a lasting impression. Illustrated work needs to be considered primarily in terms of its graphic elements, and where text exists particular attention should be paid to the synergy between the two." [5]
Through 2024 there have been 68 Medals awarded in 69 years, covering 1955 to 2023 publications. No eligible book published in 1955 or 1958 was considered suitable. From 2007 the medals are dated by the year of presentation; previously by the calendar year of British publication. [3]

* Named to the 50th Anniversary Top Ten in 2007. [7] [8]
Only one illustrator, Chris Riddell, has won three Medals. Fourteen other illustrators have won two of the 64 Medals awarded through 2021. The first winner of two Medals was John Burningham, 1963 and 1970. The most recent is Sydney Smith in 2018 and 2021.
Only A Monster Calls (Walker Books, 2011), by Patrick Ness and Jim Kay, has won both the Carnegie and Greenaway Medals for writing and illustration (2012).
In 2014, This is Not My Hat by Jon Klassen won both the Greenaway Medal and the American Caldecott Medal, which recognises a picture book illustrated by a U.S. citizen or resident. This is the first time the same book has won both medals. [9] The recently common practice of co-publication makes a double win possible. Indeed, This Is Not My Hat was released in Britain and America on the same day, 9 October 2012, by Walker Books and its American subsidiary Candlewick Press. [10] [11]
Gail E. Haley was the first illustrator to win both medals, albeit for different works: the 1971 Caldecott for A Story a Story (1970) and the 1976 Greenaway for The Post Office Cat. She also wrote both books.
Helen Oxenbury, who won the 1969 and 1999 medals, was also a "Highly Commended" runner-up four times from 1989 to 1994; the distinction was used 31 times in 29 years to 2002 and no other illustrator was highly commended more than twice. [12] Michael Foreman, who won the 1982 and 1989 medals, was highly commended once and four times a "Commended" runner-up, a distinction used 68 times in 44 years to 2002. [12]
Walker Books, based in London, with American subsidiary Candlewick Press in Somerville, MA, has published 10 of the 30 Greenaway Medal-winning works from 1985 to 2014. [9]
For the 50th medal anniversary, [a] CILIP posted online information about all of the winning works (1955–2005) and conducted a poll to identify the nation's favourite Kate Greenaway Medalist. The public were invited to send in their nominations between 16 October and 1 December 2006. [13] Polling was subsequently opened between 20 April and 14 June 2007 for ten shortlisted titles determined by a panel and the winner was announced on 21 June 2007 at the British Library. [14] [15] By less than one percentage point Dogger , illustrated and written by Shirley Hughes (1977), outpolled Each Peach Pear Plum illustrated by Janet Ahlberg and written by Allan Ahlberg (1978). [16] [17]
The nation, and international voters too, considered a ballot or all-time shortlist comprising ten of the 50 Medal-winning works, selected by six "children's book experts". The panel provided annotations including recommended ages that range from 1+ to 10+ years; age 4+ for the winner. [18] [ failed verification ]
50th Anniversary Top Ten
Headings give the official award dates: years of publication before 2006; years of presentation after 2006. [3]
Prior to the 1990's these listings cover only the Medalist and known Highly Commended (+) or Commended (–) books. [12] [19]
Illustrator Harold Jones received a Special Commendation for the 1954 Carnegie Medal, for his part in Lavender's Blue: A Book of Nursery Rhymes, compiled by Kathleen Lines (Oxford) — a 180-page collection named for "Lavender's Blue", which Oxford University Press has reprinted many times. It was "a major reason" for the Library Association to establish the Kate Greenaway Medal that year. [12] No 1955 work was judged worthy in 1956, so the Greenaway was actually inaugurated one year later, recognising a 1956 publication.
1955 (not awarded)
1956 Edward Ardizzone, Tim All Alone (Oxford) @
Ardizzone had inaugurated the Tim series in 1936 with Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain (Oxford); its last sequel was Ships Cook Ginger (1977). Tim All Alone was named one of the top ten Medal-winning works in 2007. [8]
1957 V. H. Drummond, Mrs Easter and the Storks (Faber) @
1958 (not awarded)
No work was considered suitable, the second and last time.
1959 William Stobbs, Kashtanka (Oxford), by Anton Chekhov (1887)and A Bundle of Ballads (Oxford), by Ruth Manning-Sanders from the Child Ballads (19th century collection)
The 1959 medal recognised two books, the first of four such occasions to 1982. Two runners-up were "Commended", a new distinction that would be used 99 times in 44 years to 2002, including 31 "Highly Commended" books that were named beginning 1974. [12]
1960 Gerald Rose, Old Winkle and the Seagulls (Faber), by Elizabeth Rose
1961 Antony Maitland, Mrs Cockle's Cat (Constable; Longman), by Philippa Pearce

1963 John Burningham, Borka: The Adventures of a Goose With No Feathers (Jonathan Cape) @
Borka was Burningham's first book as an author or illustrator and it was named one of the top ten Medal-winning works in 2007. [8]
1964 C. Walter Hodges, Shakespeare's Theatre (Oxford) @ —nonfiction

The Three Poor Tailors was the first-published book written by Ambrus, who had illustrated dozens of fiction and nonfiction books for Oxford since immigrating from Hungary via Austria.

Baynes alone has won the medal for illustrating a reference book; only a few nonfiction or fictionalised information books have been cited.
The distinguished runners-up (–) were called "Honours" rather than "Commended" for 1968, 1969, and perhaps 1970.
1969 Helen Oxenbury, The Quangle Wangle's Hat (Heinemann; Franklin Watts), by Edward Lear (late 19th century) and The Dragon of an Ordinary Family (Heinemann), by Margaret Mahy

1970 John Burningham, Mr Gumpy's Outing (Jonathan Cape) @
Burningham became the first to win two medals, 1963 and 1970, one year after his wife Helen Oxenbury won her first of two. As of 2012 fourteen illustrators have won two Greenaways, none three.
Garfield and Blishen won the companion Carnegie Medal for The God Beneath the Sea . (For more than fifty years until 2012, no single book won both of the CILIP awards.)
1971 Jan Pieńkowski, The Kingdom under the Sea and other stories (Jonathan Cape), retold by Joan Aiken

Thanks to a bequest left in 2000 by children’s book and illustration collector, Colin Mears, the winner now receives a cheque for £5000 along with the Greenaway Medal.
The winning book in the year 2000, I Will Never Not Ever Eat a Tomato was named one of the top ten Medal-winning works in 2007, and ranked third in public voting from that slate. [17]
In 2001, Pirate Diary became the latest "information book" to be cited for the medal and the first since 1975. [21] It was the second in a series of four first-person journals, inaugurated by Richard Platt and Chris Riddell in 1999 (Castle Diary) and continued by Platt with another illustrator. Riddell was the third and latest illustrator to be at least commended for the Greenaway for books in a series, following Graham Oakley (Church Mice, 1976 and 1982) and Janet Ahlberg (Jolly Postman, 1986 and 1991).
2002 saw Bob Graham become the first medalist from Australia. Lauren Child was the last "Commended" or "Highly Commended" runner-up; there had been 99 such distinctions over 44 years.
Twenty-six years after her first medal, 2003 marked a second win for Shirley Hughes and Ella's Big Chance —a retelling of Cinderella. Commendations ceased to be awarded in this year. Since 2003 there have usually been eight books on the shortlist.
In 2004, Chris Riddell was awarded his second medal, this time for Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver". In this year there were only 7 shortlisted books.
Wolves by Emily Gravett in its U.S. edition was Gravett's first book as author or illustrator, just one year out of college. She won the 49th Greenaway Medal, awarded in its 51st year (2005). Three years later in 2008, when once again there were only 7 shortlisted nominations, Emily Gravett won her second medal for her fourth book, with the cover title Little Mouse's Emily Gravett's Big Book of Fears .

In 2012, Jim Kay and Patrick Ness won both the Greenaway and Carnegie Medals for A Monster Calls , the first such double. Prior to this, two illustrators of Carnegie Medal-winning books had been runners-up for the Greenaway, namely Charles Keeping ( The God Beneath the Sea , 1970) and Michael Foreman ( City of Gold , 1980).
2014 marked the first time that the same book had won both the Greenaway and Caldecott medals, having won the latter in 2013. [9] [73] The winner, Jon Klassen, the first Greenaway medalist from Canada, was shortlisted for two separate publications. [74] In this year the shortlist comprised only seven nominations as opposed to the usual slate of eight.
In 2016, Chris Riddell became the first triple medalist in the history of the award, having also previously won in 2001 and 2004.
From 2016 to 2018 an additional award, The Amnesty CLIP Honour, was bestowed upon a shortlisted entry in conjunction with Amnesty International for "books that most distinctively illuminate, uphold or celebrate freedoms." [75] In 2016 There’s a Bear on My Chair received the inaugural honour [76] and in 2017 the winner was The Journey, illustrated and written by Italian artist Francesca Sanna, which followed a family of refugees. [77] [78] In 2018, Levi Penfold received the honour for his black and white illustrations in The Song from Somewhere Else. [79]
In 2018 there were only seven shortlisted nominees as opposed to the usual slate of eight. The winner, Sydney Smith would go on to win again in 2021.
In 2019 the Amnesty CLIP Honour was superseded by the Shadowers' Choice Award, voted for and awarded by children and young people who shadow the Medals. [80] [81]
