New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards Ceremony 2010

Fluffy clouds and high flying pastel balloons as table centrepieces set the ‘power of the imagination’ theme for this year’s New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards 2010. It was an elegant setting with guests sitting around tables, but as always the warmth of the children’s literature community gave the event a friendly atmosphere.

Packing for the holidays has an extra dimension for the three judges of this year’s New Zealand Post Children’s Book Awards.

Judges for the New Zealand Post Book Awards are selected from nominations put forward by a range of literary and book trade organisations with an interest in children's literature. Wherever possible one of the judges will be a practising writer.
