Kate Greenaway was a pioneering woman, it is right and proper that she is remembered, celebrated, and has her name attached to this important prize. Losing this link with an actual illustrator greatly lessens the significance of such an award. Her name should be reinstated.

Illustrators do not and have never received enough recognition for their work, and to remove Kate Greenaway’s name from the illustration medal reinforces the lack of importance of the illustration element. Please reinstate this.

Kate Greenaway was the most significant Victorian woman illustrator of children's books. Keep her name alive.

I have worked in the publishing industry for almost 40 years. As an illustrator it is hard to gain recognition. As a woman in any industry it is still hard to be taken seriously as a professional. Removing the name of a woman from an award and replacing it with a wealthy man in the 21st Century is not helpful, nor wise.
