2012 is a year of celebration!

  • The CILIP Carnegie Medal will celebrate its 75th anniversary and the CILIP Kate Greenaway its 55th!
  • It is also the year that sees London become the first city to host the Summer Olympic Games three times!

We have therefore decided to acknowledge these achievements with the 2012 Book Trail!

What is the 2012 Book Trail?

The 2012 Book Trail is a series of challenging questions, the answers to which can be found within the pages of former CILIP Carnegie Medal winners between 1936 and 2011!

To take part simply submit your answers to every part of each question via the 'Challenge Complete' form here.

At the end of the Book Trail every correct answer will be placed in a draw to win an Amazon Kindle - so the more questions you answer, the greater your chance of winning! The competition is open to UK schools and questions can be answered by pupils, teachers or librarians.
