Since 1956 the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Children’s Literature Award) has been given annually to outstanding works of children’s and young adult literature. It is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Families, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The prize is intended to encourage the development of children’s and young adult literature, to arouse and maintain public interest in those works, and to stimulate discussions in this field of literature. The goal of the award is to strengthen children and young adults in their personal development and to offer guidance to the vast German book market. The prize announcement and ceremony take place in October at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The Arbeitskreis für Jugendliteratur is responsible for awarding the prize.
