The Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis (German Youth Literature Award) is an annual award established in 1956 by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth[1] to recognise outstanding works of children's and young adult literature. It is Germany's only state-funded literary award.[2] In the past, authors from many countries have been recognised, including non-German speakers.
