Boekenleeuw

Bart Moeyaert has won the award six times.
Anne Provoost has won the award three times.

The Boekenleeuw is a Flemish literary award for the best book in children's literature by a Flemish author. The award is given by Boek.be and the winner receives €2,500.

History

The Referendumprijs voor Vlaamse kinder- en jeugdboeken award was established in 1962.[1] In 1986 this award was replaced by the Boekenleeuw and the Boekenwelp awards.[1]

The award was not given in 2017 due to reorganisation at Boek.be and due to reassessment of what awards the organisation would continue to support.[2] The award was given again in 2018 sponsored by association of authors, composers and publishers SABAM and GAU (Groep Algemene Uitgevers).[2]

Several authors have received the award multiple times, including Bart Moeyaert (six times), Anne Provoost (three times) and Diane Broeckhoven (two times). Jean-Claude van Rijckeghem and Pat van Beirs have also won the Boekenleeuw as co-authors on two separate occasions.
