The CICLA is one of the longest-running literary prizes in China. Its origins lay in the heritage of the Shanghainese children’s writer, translator and educator Chen Bochui (1906-1997).

The Chen Bochui Author of the Year and Special Contribution awards have been created to give recognition to key figures of the children’s book arena, whose contributions have made books and reading more engaging for young readers.
