Welcome to the 2023 Juniper Book Awards hub
What a year it has been – a fantastic, lively celebration of reading, involving young people, authors, and school and library staff.
Our virtual award ceremony took place on 23rd March 2023 and was a glittery affair with some of our fantastic, shortlisted authors joining us. We are grateful to Simon Fox, Jessica Scott-Whyte, Maisie Chan and Stewart Foster for taking the time to be a part of the live ceremony, and of course to David Farr and Varsha Shah for sending videos in their absence.
On this page, you will see our fantastic award winners, along with all of our entries for the Best Book Trailer. The standard for all the awards was incredible this year which made our decision so difficult. A huge congratulations to all our winners, and to everyone who took part.
Make sure you don’t miss out – join us for the Juniper Book Awards 2024, and be a part of our celebration of reading.
