Children's Booker Prize

The Children's Booker Prize was announced by the Booker Prize Foundation in October 2025. Complementing the existing Booker Prize for English-language fiction and the International Booker Prize for works translated into English, it will be awarded annually to recognise the best contemporary fiction for children aged eight to twelve published in the United Kingdom or Ireland, either originally written in English or translated from other languages. The winner will receive £50,000.

Gaby Wood, the foundation's chief executive, said that the prize aimed to be several things at once: "an award that will champion future classics written for children; a social intervention designed to inspire more young people to read; and a seed from which we hope future generations of lifelong readers will grow."
