These awards were set up in 1985 and they're one of the top book awards which are just for children. The prizes go to a fiction book or poem written especially for children by an author who lives in the UK. A panel of adult judges picks a shortlist of books in three age categories - under fives, six to eight years, and nine to 11s. Then every school in the country is asked to enter a competition to become final judges. 200 classes are picked and the kids in those classes decide who gets the gold, silver and bronze awards.
