Klaus Flugge Prize
Founded in 2015, the Klaus Flugge Prize is awarded annually to the most promising and exciting newcomer to children’s book illustration. It honours venerable publisher Klaus Flugge, founder of Andersen Press and a supremely influential figure in picture books. The Klaus Flugge Prize is the only prize specifically to recognise a published picture book by a debut illustrator; the winning illustrator receives a cheque for £5,000. The prize is funded by Klaus Flugge and is run entirely independently from Andersen Press. Recent winners include Kate Milner, Jessica Love, Eva Eland, Flavia Drago and Joseph Namara Hollis.
