The Kate Greenaway Medal is a British literary award that annually recognises "distinguished illustration in a book for children". It is conferred upon the illustrator by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP)〔 which inherited it from the Library Association. The Medal is named after the 19th-century English illustrator of children's books Kate Greenaway (1846–1901).〔 It was established in 1955 and inaugurated next year for 1955 publications, but no work was considered suitable.〔 The first Medal was awarded in 1957 to Edward Ardizzone for ''Tim All Alone'' (Oxford, 1956), which he also wrote. That first Medal was dated 1956. Only since 2007 the Medal is dated by its presentation during the year following publication. The Greenaway is a companion to the Carnegie Medal which recognises one outstanding work of writing for children and young adults (conferred upon the author).〔 Nominated books must be first published in the U.K. during the preceding school year (September to August), with English-language text if any.〔 The award by CILIP is a gold Medal and £500 worth of books donated to the illustrator's chosen library. Since 2000 there is also a £5000 cash prize from a bequest by the children's book collector Colin Mears.〔 ==Latest rendition== William Grill won the 2015 Greenaway Medal for illustration of ''Shackleton's Journey'' (Flying Eye Books), which he also wrote.〔 There were eight books on the 2015 shortlist announced 17 March, each published September 2013 to August 2014. The official website provides bibliographic data, front cover images, capsules, annotations for the public by the judging panel, and reader ages (given here) that range from 3+ to 11+.〔 * Laura Carlin, ''The Promise'' (Walker), 8+ * Alexis Deacon, ''Jim's Lion'' (Walker), 9+ * William Grill, ''Shackleton's Journey'' (Flying Eye Books), 10+ * John Higgins and Marc Olivent, ''Dark Satanic Mills'' (Walker), 11+ * Catherine Rayner, ''Smelly Louie'' (Macmillan), 3+ * Chris Riddell, ''Goth Girl and the Ghost of a Mouse'' (Macmillan), 7+ * David Roberts, ''Tinder'' (Orion), 11+ * Shaun Tan, ''Rules of Summer'' (Lothian Publishing), 8+ Recommended ages have ranged from 0+ to 11+ for books on the shortlist since 2001. Grill, Rayner, Riddell, and Tan illustrated their own writings; the other shortlist works were created with other writers (below). Catherine Rayner (2009) and Chris Riddell (2001, 2004) are previous winners of the Greenaway Medal. ==Rules== Library and information professionals (CILIP) nominate books in September and October, after the close of the publication year.〔 A panel of 12 children's librarians in CILIP's youth interest group (YLG) judges both the Carnegie and Greenaway books. Currently the shortlist is announced in March and the winner in June, between nine and 21 months after first U.K. publication.〔 Candidates must be published in the U.K. during the preceding year (September to August). They must be published for young people, and published in the U.K. originally or within three months in case of co-publication. English must be the language of any text, or one of dual languages.〔 "All categories of illustrated books for children and young people are eligible."〔 CILIP specifies numerous points of artistic style, format, and visual experience, and also "synergy of illustration and text" that should be considered "where applicable". Furthermore, "The whole work should provide pleasure from a stimulating and satisfying visual experience which leaves a lasting impression. Illustrated work needs to be considered primarily in terms of its graphic elements, and where text exists particular attention should be paid to the synergy between the two."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate Greenaway Medal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
