Sheila A. Egoff Children's Literature Prize
The Sheila A. Egoff Children's Literature Prize is awarded annually as the BC Book Prize for the best juvenile or young adult novel or work of non-fiction by a resident of British Columbia or the Yukon, Canada. It was first awarded in 1987. It is supported by the B.C Library Association.
History
Originally, the prize was awarded for illustrated and non-illustrated literature, but since 2003 the Christie Harris Illustrated Children's Literature Prize has been awarded for illustrated books and the Sheila A. Egoff Children’s Literature Prize for non-illustrated books.[1]
