Welcome to the longlist for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Prize, celebrating the most exciting newcomers to picture book illustration!

Established in 2016, the Klaus Flugge Prize is awarded to the most promising and exciting newcomer to children’s picture book illustration. It honours Klaus Flugge, founder of publisher Andersen Press and a supremely influential figure in picture books. The Klaus Flugge Prize is the only award specifically to recognise a published picture book by a debut illustrator; the winning illustrator receives a cheque for £5,000.

Bookshop.org will also donate 10% of ALL Children's book sales in February to the reading charity, BookTrust!
