Request for Submissions
The Cleaver award is given annually in recognition of outstanding artistic talent in a Canadian picture book. The recipient receives a cheque for $1000.00 dollars and a certificate. An awards ceremony to celebrate the winner is held each Spring.
The Cleaver award is administered by a committee of three members of the Canadian section of the International Board on Books for Young People. The recipient is a Canadian illustrator of a picture book published in Canada in English or French during each calendar year. To be eligible, the book must be a first edition and contain original illustrations. Picture books include original stories, poetry, and folk and fairy tales.
IBBY Canada will be donating the books to a suitable recipient at the end of each year.
