Judith Rossell wins 2024 Albert Ullin award

Our wonderful client Judith Rossell is the recipient of the 2024 Albert Ullin Award, worth $10,000.

The prize judging panel said: ‘It is Rossell’s profound love for creating stories through the artful combination of pictures and words, as well as her dedication to sharing her wealth of knowledge beyond the page, that makes her a worthy recipient of the Albert Ullin Award 2024.’

The biennial Albert Ullin Award was created with a bequest from the late Albert Ullin, cofounder of The Little Bookroom in Melbourne. It recognises a ‘body of work by an author or illustrator of children’s books who has made a significant and ongoing contribution to children’s literature in Australia’. The prize is awarded via a panel selection process and administered by the CBCA Victoria Branch.

The 2024 award was announced at a ceremony at the CBCA Victoria ‘Celebration For Creators’ evening at the Bargoonga Nganjin Fitzroy North Library on 17 October.
