HALL of FAME awarded

Egmont Serieforlaget in Denmark receives award from children’s jury for 
classic comic book.

Yesterday, Editor Michael Tjellesen collected an award for HALL of FAME, Don 
Rosa 1. The award called ORLA was given by a children’s jury from Danish 
public TV station DR in the category “Best Comic Book”.

More than 19,000 children have been involved in nominating the comic books 
in the competition, which also included Egmont’s W.I.T.C.H., nominated in 
the same category as HALL of FAME.
- The jury was very thrilled with the colors and funny stories in our comic 
book – so we won, says Charlotte Raun, Product Manager in Egmont 
Serieforlaget.

Children Know Best

Under the slogan ”Vote for a Book, You Sorry Sod,” the Children & Young 
Adult Department of the Danish Broadcasting Corporation handed out the first 
Danish children’s book award, the Orla award, in which children and young 
adults selected the authors they believed should be honored for the year’s 
best children’s books.

18,392 children voted for their favorites in four categories: picture book, 
children’s book, book for young adults, and comic book.
Winning as best picture book: Kaj & Andrea - Hurra vi skal i skole (Kaj & 
Andrea – Hurray, We’re Going to School) by Katrine Hauch-Fausbøll, 
illustrated by Sussi Bech.
The best children’s book: Sagen om det blodige vampyrtrick (The Case of the 
Bloody Vampire Trick) by Dennis Jürgensen.
Best book for young people: Himmelherren: Drengen med de violette øjne (The 
Lord of Heaven: The Boy with the Violet Eyes) by Kenneth Bøgh Andersen and, 
finally, best comic book: Hall of Fame: Don Rosa from the Walt Disney 
Company.

The prize was awarded at a special Orla ceremony, broadcast directly by DR 
on April 27. The Orla Prize is a collaboration between the Danish 
Broadcasting Corporation and the Reading is Fun campaign, being conducted by 
the Danish Ministry of Culture, the Danish Ministry of Education and the 
Danish Ministry for Family and Consumer Affairs. The Danish Literature 
Centre, part of the Danish Arts Agency, is on the steering committee for 
Reading is Fun.
