Kurt Maschler Award
Appearance
The Kurt Maschler Award was established in 1982 by Kurt Maschler, and were awarded annually until 1999 to honour "a work of imagination for children, in which text and illustration are integrated so that each enhances and balances the other."[1]
History
The award was founded by publisher Kurt Maschler in 1982, best-known as the publisher of Emil and the Detectives by Erich Kästner. Until its discontinuation in 1999, it was overseen by Maschler's son, Tom Maschler.
The Kurt Maschler Award winner was announced yearly in December for books published during that year, and honoured both the author and illustrator. Winners were awarded both a prize of £1000, and a bronze 'Emil' figurine. The award was administered by the Book Trust.[1]
