Summary/Abstract: The article discusses Polish competitions that award children’s books: Książka Roku Polskiej Sekcji IBBY [the Book of the Year by the Polish Section of IBBY], Lista Skarbów Muzeum Książki Dziecięcej [the Treasure List of the Museum of Children’s Books], Literacka Podróż Hestii [the Hestia Literary Journey], Nagroda im. Ferdynanda Wspaniałego [the Ferdynand the Great Award], Nagroda Literacka im. Kornela Makuszyńskiego [the Kornel Makuszyński Literary Award], and Nagroda Żółtej Ciżemki [the Yellow Boot Award]. The author analyzes basic information about them, the composition of the jury panels, excerpts from descriptions and regulations, selected jury notes, laudations, and justifications of the verdicts. The considerations lead to the conclusion about the clearly aetonormative nature of these competitions.
