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.
There are three awards: Hampshire Book Award, Hampshire Illustrated Book Award and Hampshire Picture Book Award. A fourth award, the Hampshire Information Book Award, is being piloted in 2013.
The Hampshire Book Award is given to works of children's literature published in paperback during the previous year. Around June every year, the final is held and selected Year 8 students from schools across Hampshire attend it in order to vote for the winning book. A celebration event for the award is held in October, and where possible, the winning author is invited to attend.
