The development of the prize over the last three years has been made possible with thanks to donations from a small group of philanthropic supporters. The inaugural £50,000 award for children's fiction will open for submissions in spring 2026, with the shortlist of eight books chosen by a panel of adult judges, chaired by the UK's Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce, announced in November 2026. The winner, to be announced in February 2027, will be selected by a combined panel of judges, with three child judges joining the adults.
