Funny like Roald Dahl
Entries
are being accepted for the second Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
The prize seeks to promote laughter and humour as a feel-good factor by
encouraging families to read together and discover the pleasure of funny
books, said the organisers.
Awards are made in two categories: The funniest book for children aged
six years and less; funniest book for children aged 7–14 years.
The winner of each category will receive £2,500, which will be presented
at an awards ceremony in London, in November.
Since Roald Dahl’s death in 1990 his work has not only endured but
is still increasing in popularity. His stories are currently available
in almost 50 languages.
UK sales alone are more than 50 million books and rising.
The Roald Dahl website attracts two million visitors per year with an
online membership of around 200,000 fans.
Closing date for entries is June 29, 2009.
