To receive an award or even honorable mention from either the Caldecott or Newbery Awards is an incredible moment in any author or illustrator's life. To say one award is better than the other just can't be done as the two awards are given for different criteria.
The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
The Newbery, on the other hand, is awarded annually to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.

This is exactly as I thought. Different qualifications exist for each award; therefore, one is not better than another.
