:''Not to be confused with the Hans Christian Andersen Literature Award'' The Hans Christian Andersen Awards are a pair of biennial literary awards by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), recognising one living author and one living illustrator for their "lasting contribution() to children's literature".〔 The writing award was inaugurated in 1956, the illustration award in 1966. The former is sometimes called the "Nobel Prize for children's literature". The awards are named for Hans Christian Andersen, the 19th-century Danish author of fairy tales, and each winner receive the Hans Christian Andersen Medaille, a gold medal with the bust of Andersen (see image). Medals are presented by the Queen of Denmark at the biennial IBBY Congress. ==Process== "National Sections" of IBBY may nominate one author and one illustrator each and the panel considers only those nominees. For the 2012 HCA Awards, 27 authors and 30 illustrators were nominated by 32 "nations".〔 National sections also nominate the judges. The 2012 panel comprised president María Jesús Gil Iglesia of Spain and ten others appointed by the IBBY executive.〔 Award winners are announced at the annual Bologna Children's Book Fair, in March or April. For 2012, five finalists for each award were announced 12 March 2012 and the winners one week later, 19 March.〔 During April 2013 IBBY announced 29 writers and 31 illustrators nominated for the 2014 awards.〔 On 17 March 2014 IBBY announced the shortlists of six writers and six illustrators for the 2014 awards, to be announced one week later, Monday, 24 March.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Christian Andersen Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
