The Award "will be made to outstanding books which have the prime intention of documenting factual material with consideration given to imaginative presentation, interpretation and variation of style. As general guidelines, the judges may consider the relative success of the book in balancing and harmonising the following elements:
- style of language and presentation;
- graphic excellence;
- clarity, appropriateness and aesthetic appeal of illustration;
- integration of text, graphics and illustration to engage interest and enhance understanding;
- overall design of the book to facilitate the presentation of information;
- accuracy with regard to the current state of knowledge."[1]
