History

edit

Landmark inaugurated the program in the mid-1980s as The National Written and Illustrated by... Awards Contest for Students,[3] and ran it until 1999.[1] A year later, future awards were canceled indefinitely, due to falling sales of their titles caused by "the financial crunch in many schools and libraries".[4] In 2006 and 2007, the company revived it as the David Melton Memorial Written and Illustrated by... Contest for Students, before rebranding it under the current name.[2]
