It recognises advocacy, mentoring and volunteer work beyond paid roles and professional responsibilities. The Award is an opportunity to recognise an individual or partnership whose dedicated work in advocacy and promotion of literature and literacy might otherwise not be publicly celebrated.

Closing date for nominations: Friday 28 April 2023.
