REAL Nominations for 2024

We received over 29,000 nominations this year! Thank you to everyone who helped us reach so many young Australians.

The REAL Awards change reading from passive to interactive by encouraging children to evaluate and discuss what they read. They impact the child’s literacy skills, their attitude to reading, and their future.

While engaging children in this process, the broader children’s book industry hears the voice of the people they write for – the children! The REAL Awards facilitates this by connecting authors and illustrators to the children via shortlist announcements and the annual awards ceremony.
