The Vicky Metcalf Award for Children's Literature is awarded annually to a Canadian writer (citizen or landed immigrant) who has produced a body of work that demonstrates the highest literary standards.

… as well as recognizing the substantial and lasting contributions made by authors with a body of work that demonstrates consistent quality, this award helps raise the profile of Canadian children's literature, both at home and abroad.

• Sponsored by the George Cedric Metcalf Foundation, the Vicky Metcalf Award was originally administered by the Canadian Authors Association and is now presented by the Writers' Trust of Canada.
• A $15,000 cash prize is awarded to one author for his or her body of work.
• The winner is announced and the award presented at the Great Literary Awards held each Spring in Toronto.
• Past winners include Tim Wynne-Jones, Jean Little, Sheree Fitch and Deborah Ellis.
