  • The ASLA DANZ Awards announced Jan 2025

    11 Dec 2024 10:47 AM | Anonymous

    The ASLA DANZ Award celebrates books which push boundaries, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate diversity, including disability, culture, class, LGBTQI, race, and religion.

    The diversity portrayed in the book and under which the book is nominated must be relevant, obvious, and important to the story, but the story must be more than the diversity portrayed.

    The submitted work must be sensitively and authentically written without using offensive, inaccurate, harmful, and insensitive tropes and representation.

    The ASLA DANZ Award 2025 KEY DATES

    Longlist will be announced in January 2025

    Shortlist will be announced in March 2025

    Winners will be crowned at the ASLA Conference in May 2025

    (subject to change)

    Since the award is not charging an entry fee, support in all forms, from financial sponsorship to the sharing of services and networks, is welcomed and encouraged to help grow the award and cement its place in the children’s literature landscapes of Australia and New Zealand.

    Please look out for details of the upcoming fundraising day and reach out to Kate Foster at thedanzchildrensbookaward@gmail.com or Martha Itzcovitz at president@asla.org.au to discuss how you can help us make a difference.
