The Governor General's Award for English-language children's illustration is a Canadian literary award that annually recognizes one Canadian illustrator for a children's book written in English. It is one of four children's book awards among the Governor General's Awards for Literary Merit, one each for writers and illustrators of English- and French-language books. The Governor General's Awards program is administered by the Canada Council. In name, this award is part of the Governor General's Award program only from 1987 but the four children's literature awards were established in 1975 under a Canada Council name. In the event, the "Canada Council" and "Governor General's" awards have recognized illustration in an English-language children's book every year from 1978.〔〔 == Canada Council Children's Literature Prize == In 1975 the Canada Council established four annual prizes of $5000 for the year's best English- and French-language children's books by Canadian writers and illustrators. Those "Canada Council Children's Literature Prizes" were continued under the "Governor General's Awards" rubric from 1987, and continue today. Among them the English-language illustration prize was awarded every year from 1978.〔 * 1978: Ann Blades, ''A Salmon for Simon'', written by Betty Waterton * 1979: László Gál, ''The Twelve Dancing Princesses'', retold by Janet Lunn * 1980: Elizabeth Cleaver, ''Petrouchka: adapted from Igor Stravinsky and Alexandre Benois'', Petrushka retold by Cleaver * 1981: Heather Woodall, ''Ytek and the Arctic Orchid: an Inuit legend'', by Garnet Hewitt * 1982: Vlasta van Kampen, ''ABC/123: The Canadian Alphabet and Counting Book'' * 1983: László Gál, ''The Little Mermaid'', retold by Margaret Crawford Maloney * 1984: Marie-Louise Gay, ''Lizzy's Lion'', by Dennis Lee * 1985: Terry Gallagher, ''Murdo's Story'', by Murdo Scribe * 1986: Barbara Reid, ''Have You Seen Birds?'', by Joanne Oppenheim Three of these winning English-language illustrators also won the annual Canadian Library Association award for children's book illustration, recognizing the same books.
