A Caldecott Award is given to books with great illustrations or pictures. Allthough most of these award winners also have great accompaning stories to go along with the illustrations, the award is for the drawings and is therefore usually awarded to picture books.
A Newberry Award is given to a book that has a wonderful story and has great literary devices. This award is usually devoted to a chapter book notable of reading.
The two awards are alike in the fact that the award is given to one book every year, but there are also several "honor" books for each medal every year as well.
I don't think that either award is better than the other. Both awards judge different aspect of literature and to compare the two would not do the books in these seperate categories any justice!
