About the Scholastic Graphic Novel Prize

What is the Scholastic Graphic Novel Prize?

The Scholastic Graphic Novel Prize is a brand new book award that celebrates the UK and Ireland’s favourite graphic novels.

Why celebrate graphic novels?

Graphic novels are a great way to engage all readers, particularly children who struggle with reading. They teach children visual literacy and may even introduce them to new art forms!

How does it work?

Publishers can submit their very best graphic novel offerings until 11.59pm on 2nd February 2024. These will then get sent to a panel of industry experts who will create a longlist of their top books. This longlist will then get sent to our fantastic judging panel, made up of industry experts and graphic novel enthusiasts, who will decide on the final shortlist together.

Can I vote?

Once the shortlist is announced, it’s over to you! Check back here in February to see when the vote will open.

When will we find out the winners?

We’ll announce the winners in each category on a date to be announced.
