圖畫書融合藝術與人文，是思想與情感的整體表現，目前兒童所閱讀欣賞的圖畫書，都是大人的想像創作，揣摩幼童的閱讀特質或教育需求而編撰創作，很少見到圖畫書本身即是學童的創作，本館今（95）年大膽突破了這樣的框限，創新籌辦「全國學生圖畫書創作獎」活動，是項活動以國小、國中、高中、大專的在學學生為徵件對象，徵求創作適合3至12歲兒童欣賞之圖畫書，今第一年舉辦就收到971件的徵件數，每件作品作者匠心獨運，使故事取材充滿驚喜的創意與童趣，並因其不同個性、意念及生活體驗，所詮釋故事內容，透過多樣化形式表現，在每一個範疇裡都有其迷人的精神。
本次活動遴選出38件作品分別為各組各項獎項得獎者，獎項像辛勞耕作後豐收派對，創作者對作品所投入的大量熱情、耐力與毅力，才是真正成功值得鼓勵。本館為獎勵兒童圖畫書創作，提昇國內優良圖像讀物，將發表得獎作品，及展出得獎童書插畫，為國內圖畫書創作樹立一個相當不同的典範。
