Joy Cowley Award

The Joy Cowley Award was established by Storylines: Children's Literature Foundation of New Zealand in 2002 to honour the outstanding contribution to children's literature by Joy Cowley.

The Award is for a picture book manuscript, of no more than 1000 words, for children 0–7 or 7–13 years and is awarded annually, when merited. It consists of an award of NZ$1500 with an offer of publication by Scholastic New Zealand.[1]

Entries close 31 October each year. The award is announced each year in March and the book published the following year. The entrants must be residents of New Zealand.
