Phoenix Award
The Phoenix Award is a youth literature prize that has been presented annually by the Children's Literature Association since 1985 . The prize has an unusual concept: Works can be awarded that were published in English at least 20 years before the award ceremony and that at the time of their first publication did not receive a prize or a proper reception .
The name of the award indicates its purpose to wrest good books for young people from oblivion in the same way as the phoenix emerges from the ashes.
