본문
The International Board on Books for Young People is proud to announce the establishment
of the IBBY-iRead Outstanding Reading Promoter Award. This Award has been established
by the Shenzhen iRead Foundation and IBBY to encourage a real commitment to the cause
of reading promotion in the hope of spreading this dedication to others around the globe.
The Award aims to encourage further investment by individuals, organizations and
governments in the promotion of children’s reading and will stimulate educational
innovation, give much greater access to children’s books and an enhanced profile for
children’s reading promotion – key tools in global, social, economic and cultural
development – all in the context of Article 17(C)) of the Convention on the Rights of the
Child.
Every two years IBBY will invite nominations from IBBY National Sections that recognise
outstanding individuals who are working to promote the expansion and development of
children’s reading. From the nominations the IBBY-iRead Award Jury will select two winners.
The first Awards will be presented in 2020 at the 37th IBBY Congress in Moscow, Russia.
The Jury will look for nominees who have demonstrated a commitment to exploration,
innovation, and a sense of responsibility and dedication to cultivating a love of reading and
competency in children. Their work may include: the creation and operation of outstanding
reading promotion projects; effective promotion of strategies in favour of reading policies;
and, advocacy of the children’s right to read. All nominations will be judged on sustainability,
influence, dedication to the common good, innovation and inspiration.
The iRead Foundation has pledged 1,200,000 RMB Yuan biennially for twenty years for this
important award. The two winners will each receive 200,000 RMB Yuan and, in addition,
150,000 RMB Yuan will be given to a non-profit children’s reading promotion project of
their choice. The remaining funds will go towards the administration of the Award and to
support the IBBY Secretariat.
