First awarded in 1956, The Kate Greenaway Medal is awarded annually by CILIP for 'outstanding illustration in a children's book'. The winner receives the £5000 Colin Mears Award, and £500 worth of books for a UK library of their choice.
Please note that before 2007 the year refers to when the book was published rather than when the medal was awarded i.e. the 2005 winner was announced and the medal presented in July 2006.
