Belgian illustration award From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Boekenpauw, also known as the Yvonne Gillé-Decoeneprijs, is a Flemish award for a Flemish or Dutch illustrator for the best illustrations in a children's book.[1]The award is given by Boek.be and the winner receives €2,500.[update]
The Boekenpauw and Boekenpluim awards were established in 1989.
The award was not given in 2017 due to reorganisation at Boek.be and due to reassessment of what awards the organisation would continue to support.[2] The award was given again in 2018 sponsored by association of authors, composers and publishers SABAM and GAU (Groep Algemene Uitgevers).[2]
Gerda Dendooven won the Boekenpauw four times: in 1990, 1995, 2002 and 2007.[3] Several illustrators have won the Boekenpauw twice: Carll Cneut (2000 and 2004),[4]Goele Dewanckel (1999 and 2005), Ingrid Godon (2001 and 2015), Tom Schamp (2008 and 2013) en André Sollie (1998 and 2010).
