Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis

 
Wikipedia: Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis

The Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Youth literature prize) is an annual award established in 1956 by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth[1] to recognise outstanding works of children's literature. It is Germany's only state-funded literary award.[2] In the past, authors from many countries have been recognised, including non-German speakers. The awards for 2009 are due to be presented on 16 October 2009.[3]

Organisation

The award is organized by the "Arbeitskreis für Jugendliteratur", also called AKJ or The Association for Children's and Youth Literature, which receives financial support, including prize money, from the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.

Awards are given in five categories: Best Picture Book, Best Children's Book, Best Youth Book, Best Non-Fiction Book and Choice of the Jugendjury (Youth Jury). Up to six nominations in each category are announced at the Leipzig Book Fair,[1] and the awards are presented during the Frankfurt Book Fair by the Federal Minister of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth.[3] In each category, the winning author receives an 8000 Euro cash prize, and a bronze statuette representing Momo from the novel by Michael Ende.[1]

A special award, established in 1991, is also given every year to recognise long-term individual achievement for an author, illustrator or translator.[4] These awards generally carry a cash prize of 10,000 Euros.[1]

History

Since the award was established, many changes have been made. When the "Deutscher Jugendbuchpreis" (as the award was known until 1981) began in 1956, only two categories were recognised; Best Children's Book and Best Youth Book. In addition to these, a special prize was awarded every year in a different category. It was not until 1964 that the Best Picture Book and Best Non-fiction Book categories replaced this variable award. In 1991, the Special prize was reintroduced to recognise individual achievement, particularly of illustrators and translators. The final category recognized today, awarded by the Jugendjury, was not introduced until 2003, when it was originally called the Young People's Prize (Preis der Jugendlichen).

Jury

Awards are decided upon by two juries: the Kritikerjury (transl. Critic Jury) and the Jugendjury. The Kritikerjury decides the nominations and the majority of the prizes; the Jugendjury only decides the Jugendjury prize.

The Kritikerjury are appointed by the Arbeitsgruppe für Jugendliteratur once every two years, although jury members can serve two consecutive terms. The jury consists of nine members: the chair, and eight specialist judges - two for each award category.

The members for 2009/2010 are:[5]

  • Chair: Dr. Susanne Helene Becker
  • Picture book specialists: Ute Hachmann and Thomas Linden
  • Children's book specialists: Dr. Susanne Graf and Sabine Lippert
  • Youth book specialists: Katrin Maschke and Ulf Cronenberg
  • Non-fiction book specialists: Monika Trapp and Dr. Heike Elisabeth Jüngst

The Jugendjury is also changed every two years. It consists of members of six German youth book clubs. The clubs involved for 2009-2010 are:[6]

Another jury decides on the Special Prize to be awarded each year. The members this year are:[7]

  • Dr. Barbara von Korff Schmising
  • Ulrich H. Baselau
  • Dr. Pauline Liesen
