Alba Bouwer Prize
The Alba Bouwer Prize (Afrikaans: Alba Bouwerprys vir Kinderliteratuur) is a prize for outstanding children's literature in Afrikaans, awarded triennially by the South African Academy of Science and Arts.[1] Works qualifying for the prize should have been published within the preceding three years, and be intended for under-12s. The prize is named in honour of children's author Alba Bouwer (born 1920), herself a three-time winner of the Academy's Scheepers Prize for youth literature (Scheepersprys vir Jeugliteratuur), instituted in 1956.
