"Submissions can be found on the MY AWARDS tab in your Member Home. Members must be logged in to scbwi.org to access their Member Home.
The submission should consist of three or four images without text that best showcase your portfolio. Your art style and visual story must be appropriate for one of these two specific audiences/book genres (Choose one):
- Full color, intended for a picture book for 4 to 7-year-olds
- Black and white, intended for a middle grade book for 8 to 11-year-olds
- You must be a current SCBWI member to submit."
ALSO! The Bologna Children's Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition is open until November 3! SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES!
"Now in its 60th edition, the Illustrators Exhibition—which will take place as part of the next edition of the fair (13–16 April 2026)—offers the rare opportunity to bring the work of both established and emerging artists to the attention of industry professionals, during the fair and in the months that follow."
Each year, the winning illustrations will be shown in the show as well as be published in the Ilustrators Annual, released and distributed worldwide. Following the Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the Exhibition will embark on a two-year tour, throughout the world as well will be presented—"either in full or in part"—at various international events in different countries. This is a wonderful opportunity to get your work in front of professionals all over the world!
Mantras of mine:
"You'll never know if you don't try"
"If it's a 'No,' you'll still be where you are. But if it's a 'Yes,' who knows what doors will open!"
"No fear. No judgement!"
