Digital Book Award 2025:

In 2025, the Award was not granted due to an insufficient number of high-quality submissions available for teachers’ evaluations. The next submission window will open in 2026.

About the Award: 

The Children’s Digital Book Award is the only award focused on children’s reading on screen and judged by teachers. It recognises innovation, creativity and excellence in digital book publishing.

The Award is run in partnership with the Open University and runs every two years.
