About The CBCA
The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering a love for literature among young Australians. Since its inception in 1945, the CBCA has played a vital role in promoting and recognizing Australian children's literature. Through their annual Book of the Year Awards, the CBCA honors books of exceptional literary and artistic quality, making them the most influential and esteemed awards in the country.
In addition to the awards, the CBCA organizes Children's Book Week®, a nationwide celebration that brings children and books together. Throughout the year, the CBCA collaborates with authors, illustrators, publishers, and booksellers to spread the magic of words and stories to children and adults alike. With a focus on equity, diversity, quality, integrity, and respect, the CBCA's purpose is to enrich young lives through Australian stories.
Their vision is to see a thriving creative world that embraces the transformative power of stories across generations. By connecting, communicating, celebrating, and advocating for the value of stories, the CBCA aims to create a literary landscape that leaves a lasting impact on children's lives
