The Gavin Bishop Award was established in 2009 and is awarded every two years. It recognises the contribution Gavin Bishop has made to the writing and illustrating of children’s picture books and aims to support emerging illustrators to publish high-quality picture books. Winners receive a prize of $1500 and mentoring by Gavin Bishop. The award is presented in March.
