We are delighted to announce our latest ‘Before and After’ competition on the theme of ‘What’s inside?‘, which invites you to submit two images of a character before and after opening a parcel (no background needed), with an emphasis in expressing your character’s feelings and experience through their physicality. The competition will take place between October and December 2024. The winner will receive a prize of £500, and two additional awarded runners up will both receive £250. More details about the competition, including how to enter.
*SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT*
As a companion to this competition, we will be hosting a free webinar with Creative Director Tiffany Leeson on the topic of ‘Head, shoulders, knees and toes: The importance of body language’ on 4 November 2024 at 7pm (UK time). Tiffany will draw on her extensive experience overseeing creative teams at the UK’s top publishing houses to demystify this key concept for children’s book illustrators.
