About The Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children’s Books
The Royal Mail Awards for Scottish Children’s Books were originally set up by the Scottish Arts Council in 1999 and are now run by Scottish Book Trust. The awards recognize excellence in Scottish writing and illustration for children across three categories: Early years (0-7 years), younger readers (8-11 years), older readers (12-16 years). There is also a special Gaelic and Scots category, which in 2009 took the form of a creative writing competition for Gaelic-speaking children across Scotland. The Royal Mail stopped sponsorship in 2010.
