The Peter Pan Prize (Swedish: Peter Pan-Prisets) was established in 2000 by IBBY Sweden and the Göteborg Book Fair. It is awarded annually "to a book for children or young adults of high quality in both literary and subject terms, satisfying one or more of the following criteria: (1) by an author previously unpublished or little known in Sweden; (2) from a country, language group or culture with limited representation in Sweden; (3) with content concerning children or young adults in less familiar countries and cultures less familiar to Swedish readers"[1] Runner-up prizes are called Silver Stars (Swedish: Silverstjärna).
