History

Notes
-
'Fellowships offer Australian children's authors and illustrators the opportunity to take up one month's residence in a May Gibbs studio apartment, usually away from their home city or state, where they can concentrate intensively on their own creative work, as well as providing a significant stimulus to co-creators and contributing to the expansion of audience participation in, and appreciation of children's literature in the communities they visit.' (May Gibbs Children's Literature Trust website)
The Fellowships are provided by the May Gibbs Children's Literature Trust. The Fellowships were first awarded in 2000.
