Carnegie Medal

Il Carnegie Medal for Writing è un premio che viene assegnato annualmente a scrittori per bambini; fu istituito nel 1936 in onore del filantropo scozzese Andrew Carnegie.

I libri candidati devono essere scritti in inglese e devono essere stati pubblicati nel Regno Unito nell'anno precedente la nomination. La giuria è composta da 13 bibliotecari di biblioteche per ragazzi appartenenti all'organizzazione "Youth Libraries Group of Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals". I libri nominati vengono anche inviati a scolari di varie scuole affinché mandino il loro giudizio alla giuria. Viene anche assegnata una menzione al lavoro di illustrazione dei libri con la Kate Greenaway Medal.

L'assegnazione del premio è annunciata ogni giugno e il vincitore riceve una medaglia d'oro e un buono d'acquisto di 500 sterline da spendere in donazioni di libri a biblioteche pubbliche o scolastiche.

Il regolamento originale stabiliva che un autore potesse ricevere la medaglia solo una volta, ma successivamente la regola è stata modificata per poter permettere la valutazione di altre pubblicazioni di un autore già vincitore.
