CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Shadowing Scheme

The CILIP Carnegie and Kate Greenaway Medals are the UK's oldest and most prestigious children's book awards, recognising outstanding writing and illustration in books for children and young people.

Every year, schools around the UK and internationally take part in an Awards' Shadowing Scheme, 'shadowing' the judging process: they read, discuss and review the books on each shortlist selected by CILIP's panel of judges and engage in reading related activity online.

Peters are delighted to support the awards as official book supplier and sponsor for the Shadowing Scheme. Each year we offer the longlist and shortlist packs to schools with 35% off and with free delivery. Plus follow our blog and social media coverage of the awards with exclusive insights from the judges, author Q&As and more!
