The nominees for the 2014 Carnegie Medal and Kate Greenaway Medal have been announced.  The Carnegie Medal is an annual UK award for an outstanding book for children and young people.  The Kate Greenaway Medal is for outstanding illustration in a book for children and young people. 

This is the first year that the judging panel will be providing a longlist rather than just the full list of nominees and a shortlist.  The longlist will be revealed in February 2014, the shortlist will be announced in March with the final award announced in June.
