Crichton Award for Children's Book Illustration


The CBCA Award for New Illustrator is one of several awards presented annually by the Children's Book Council of Australia.
The award was originally set up from a legacy made to the Victorian Branch of the CBCA by Mr Wallace Raymond Crichton in 1985. The first award was presented in 1988.
In 2019, the award transferred to the CBCA Book of the Year Awards and was renamed the CBCA Award for New Illustrator. It is managed by the national awards committee and funded by the CBCA Awards Foundation.
