Hans Christian Andersen Prize
The Hans Christian Andersen Prize ( Danish H.C. Andersen-medaljen , English Hans Christian Andersen Award ; in its own German spelling: Hans Christian Andersen Prize ) is now sponsored by the IBBY ( International Board on Books for Young People ), an international board of trustees 70 countries, awarded every two years. It is named after the Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) and is considered the most important international award for children's book authors and illustrators . This is why this international children's and young people's literature prize is also known as the “small Nobel Prize ”. Every two years the international IBBY congress elects a new jury. The prize is a pure honorary award with a gold medal. The patron is the Danish Queen Margrethe II.
General
The Hans Christian Andersen Prize is divided into two categories: since 1956 for authors of children's books and from 1966 also for illustrators of children's books. In addition, an honor list was set up from the beginning to honor those authors and illustrators who should also be honored. With increasing duration, the circle of recommended authors and draftsmen grew more and more worldwide. In the meantime, around 50 authors, draftsmen and recently also translators are honored every two years .
This internationally ausgelobte children's literature prize is not to be confused with the Danish, but internationally awarded Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award ( Danish Hans Christian Andersen Litteraturpris , English Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award ). It has been endowed with 500,000 crowns since the 2000s and has been awarded annually in Odense, the city of Andersen's birth, since 1989 .
The Hans Christian Andersen Prize Committee has been awarding the undoped Hans Christian Andersen Prize (Hans Christian Andersen Prize) every year since 1996 . The award ceremony also takes place in Odense and always on April 2nd, Andersen's birthday. It is awarded to all personalities and institutions who have made a contribution to the dissemination of Andersen's work.
