The Randolph Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children. The book must be published in English and in the United States. The Honor Books can also be named which are also distinguished.
The John Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. These must also be published in English in the United States with Honor Books named as well. Basically, the main difference between Newbery and Caldecott is that Newbery books are based on literature such as chapter books for older children, whereas, Caldecott books are picture books for younger children. Both are well distinguished in their criteria.
