The Sharjah Children's Reading Festival (SCRF) stands as a beacon of creativity and storytelling excellence in the ever-expanding landscape of children's literature.
-
Organised by the Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), the festival returns this spring, from April 23 to May 4 at Expo Centre Sharjah, inviting authors, publishers, and illustrators to submit their works for three distinguished literary awards by March 31.
With a combined prize of Dhs110,000, the Sharjah Children's Book Award, the Sharjah Audio Book Award, and the Books for Visually Impaired Children Award do more than recognise outstanding books.
They cultivate a literary culture that enriches young minds across the Arab world and beyond.
By celebrating originality and craftsmanship in storytelling, the initiative seeks to inspire a new generation of readers, encouraging curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of books.
The path begins with a submission for authors, illustrators, and publishers eager to leave their mark on children's literature.
