LIANZA Russell Clark Award

Christchurch City Libraries lists literary prize winners and links to catalogue searches, but we may not hold copies of all titles mentioned.

The Russell Clark Award was established in 1975 in honour of Russell Clark (1905-1966), well known for his illustrations in the Listener and the School Journal in the forties and fifties. It was first given in 1978 by the New Zealand Library Association (later known as the New Zealand Library and Information Association, now the Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa).

The award recognises excellence in children’s book illustration and is given to a New Zealand citizen or resident for the most distinguished pictures or illustrations in a children’s or young adult’s book, with or without text. Non-fiction as well as fiction titles are eligible.

The LIANZA awards have now merged with NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults - this is now the Illustration (Russell Clark Award).
