Time to Recognise Australian Children’s Illustrators.

Sidelined. Second fiddle. Unacknowledged. Where are the Illustrators?

What would a picture book be without the creativity of illustrators?

Time to make a change. The SCBWI Australian Picture Book Illustrator Awards recognise the vibrancy and importance of the illustrations.

Imagine ‘Elephants Have Wings’ without the award winning Anna Pignataro’s extraordinary artwork?

Imagine ‘There’s a Hippopotamus Eating Cake on Our Roof’ without the award winning Deborah Niland’s joyous artwork?

Imagine ‘Possum Magic’ without the award winning Julie Vivas’ endearing illustrations?

SCBWI Australia East is proud to recognise our illustrators with the support of the Copyright Agency open to all Australian illustrators.

The submission showcases the works of illustrators to international and national publishers, development of their portfolio and the opportunity to showcase and possibly win major prizes.

The Awards submission opens 1st May.
