Children's Picture Book Illustrators' Initiative: Australian Society of Authors [23.01.2012]
The Australian Society of Authors is delighted to announce a new initiative for 2012. Emerging, developing and established Children’s Picture Book illustrators are invited to apply for grants to assist with the creation of a new picture book. Projects may not be fully formed but illustrators are encouraged to demonstrate their project to the best of their ability.
The initiative aims to establish a ‘best-practice’ methodology for assessing applications from picture book illustrators for the Australia Council’s New Work funding category. It has arisen from an understanding that illustrators may find it difficult to apply for grants given the extremely nascent quality of their works-in-progress.
For guidelines and application forms, please visit our website.
This one-off initiative is funded by Australia Council for the Arts, and managed by the Australian Society of Authors. Eligibility criteria apply – please read the guidelines carefully.
Applications close 29 February 2012.
