The Hampshire Book Awards are an annual series of literary awards given to works of children's literature. The awards are run by Hampshire County Council's School Library Service.[1][2]

There are four awards: Hampshire Book Award, Hampshire Illustrated Book Award, Hampshire Picture Book Award and Hampshire Information Book Award.

Hampshire Book Award

The Hampshire Book Award is given to works of children's literature published in paperback during the previous year.

A celebration event for the award is held in October, and where possible, the winning author is invited to attend.
