Vietnamese Golden Kite

The Golden Kite Award is also the Vietnamese equivalent of an Academy Award (Oscar). --68.81.70.65 (talk) 18:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"judged by a jury of peers"

Quoting the lead: "the Golden Kite Awards are the only children’s literary award judged by a jury of peers."

Guardian Children's Fiction Prize is under slow construction. In the lead I now say, "The Guardian calls it the only children's book award winner selected by peers." The newspaper probably says that every year. A panel of three children's writers (perhaps British fiction writers) makes the shortlist and final selections. I understand that to mean the committee chair, who is children's book editor for the newspaper, doesn't vote or participate as a decision maker after the longlist stage.

Perhaps the Golden Kite alone is conferred by a society of peers.

The Guardian Prize as an example obviously challenges only the GKA Fiction claim.

Does a single panel/jury (no distinction there, i suppose) handle all four annual GKAwards? Or do illustrators select the Picture Book Illustration winners, and so on? This bears on which GKAwards are unique as we say, which claims are a stretch, and which (most likely re Fiction) are simply wrong. --P64 (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality and language

What do we know about nationality and language of the Society members, the award-winning books, and the runners-up (if any are announced)? For example:

how many Society members live in the U.S.?
how many award-winning books were published in the U.S. (before winning the award)?
what are the best award performances by books written in languages other than English?
