Laureate na nÓg

Childrens Books Ireland are accepting nominations for the position of Laureate na nÓg 2012 –14. Administered by Children’s Books Ireland, (CBI) the position of Laureate was instigated in 2010 with the inauguration of Siobhán Parkinson (right) as Ireland’s first children’s literature laureate.

Ms Parkinson will complete her term of office in May 2012.

Nominees must be Irish and should be an internationally recognized author or illustrator who has made a significant contribution to the field of children’s literature in Ireland.

They must demonstrate both eagerness and skill in engaging with children, young people, adults, and media and with the sector as a whole and should demonstrate an enthusiasm for promoting children’s literature in general, said CBI.

Laureate na nÓg is an initiative of the Arts Council with the support of the Office of the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs (OMCYA), Children’s Books Ireland and Poetry Ireland.

Closing date for entries is February 24, 2012.
