The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the world’s largest prize for children’s and young adult literature. Candidates are nominated by expert organisations from all over the world. A common feature of the nominating bodies is that they have a good overview and knowledge of children’s and young adult literature in their countries or language areas. This makes the annual list of nominees a good starting-point for an overview of contemporary international children’s and young adult literature.
A total of 184 candidates have been nominated for the 2012 award. Among the nominees are authors, illustrators, organisations, promoters of reading and oral storytellers, representing 66 countries world-wide.
The recipient or recipients of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award will be announced by the jury at the birthplace of Astrid Lindgren in Vimmerby, Sweden, at 1:00 p.m. on March 20th, 2012. The announcement will be broadcast live to the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, Italy, and online at www.alma.se.

The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (ALMA) is the world’s largest prize for children’s and young adult literature. The award, which amounts to SeK 5 million, is awarded annually to a single recipient or to several. Authors, illustrators, oral storytellers and those active in reading promotion may be rewarded.
An expert jury selects the winners from candidates nominated by institutions and organisations world-wide. one of the main criteria is to reward work in the deeply humanistic spirit of Astrid Lindgren. The award is designed to promote interest in children’s and young adult literature, and in children’s rights, globally.
In 2012 it is ten years since the Swedish government founded the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award is administered by the Swedish Arts Council.
