- The MARGARET A. EDWARDS AWARD for lifetime achievement in writing for young adults was awarded to ETHS favorite Angela Johnson, author of The First Part Last, Bird, Heaven, A Certain October, and many more.
- The LAURA INGALLS WILDER AWARD recognizes an author or illustrator whose books (published in the United States) have made, over a period of years, a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children. This year the award was given to Jacqueline Woodson, another ETHS favorite, whose award-winning works include Brown Girl Dreaming, If You Come Softly, After Tupac & D Foster, Beneath a Meth Moon, Miracle's Boys, and many more.
- The CORETTA SCOTT KING - VIRGINA HAMILTON AWARD FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT, which pays tribute to the quality and magnitude of beloved children’s author Virginia Hamilton, was awarded to Eloise Greenfield. Early in life, she discovered a love of reading and writing and realized there were few books that showed the fullness of African American life. She published her first book in 1972 and went on to write and publish more than 40 books. From "Honey, I Love" to "The Great Migration," this multiple award-winning author has captivated audiences through the years.
