Crichton Award for Children's Book Illustration

The CBCA Award for New Illustrator (previously Crichton Award for Children's Book Illustration) is one of several awards presented annually by the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA).

The award was originally set up from a legacy made to the Victorian Branch of the CBCA by Mr Wallace Raymond Crichton in 1985.[1] The first award was presented in 1988.

In 2019, the award transferred to the CBCA Book of the Year Awards and was renamed the CBCA Award for New Illustrator. It is managed by the national awards committee and funded by the CBCA Awards Foundation.

gollark: Well, this one is secretly an artificial superintelligence running as a distributed computation on various Discord bots and spare capacity in users' brains, and is small.
gollark: Thus, if you get invites from people of group X, they will be invites to servers containing people of group X.
gollark: Consider: people are only going to invite you to servers they're in. Or at least aware of.
gollark: Maybe you could find new ones NOT by asking the people you don't like much?
