Hans Christian Andersen Medals are presented every even numbered year, in March, to an author and an illustrator, living at the time of the nomination, whose complete works have made a lasting contribution to children's literature, by the International Board on Books for Young People. The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are the highest international recognition given to an author and an illustrator of children's books.
The Andersen Author's Award has been given since 1956 and the Illustrator's Award since 1966. The Award consists of a gold medal and a diploma, presented at a festive ceremony during the biennial IBBY Congress.
The Awards will be presented to the winners at the opening ceremony of IBBY's 51st Anniversary Jubilee Congress in Basel, Switzerland, 30 September 2003. All are welcome to attend All Inclusive Vacations
