The oldest and most prestigious award for children literature in UK is Carnegie medal. Established 1937. Presented annually to an outstanding book published in the United Kingdom. Initially limited to English writers whose books were published in England, but since 1969 any book written in English and published first, or concurrently, in the United Kingdom has been eligible.

You can find some of the famous names such as J.K.Rowling (Harry Potter), Philip Pullman (Golden Compass, etc), C.S Lewis (Chronicle of Nania), Mary Norton (Borrowers), etc.

A shadowing schemefor children and young people accompanies the Awards.
