The New England Writers' Centre Illustration Prize

The New England Writers' Centre is excited to announce the winners for this year's Illustration Prize, with three wonderful awards for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize awards, and a high commendation. 

This prestigious award celebrates children's picture book illustration, attracting artists and illustrators from all over Australia.

​The calibre of the entries this year was outstanding. It was no easy task for our judges!  All submissions were anonymous and the judges were asked to score on each entry for artistic merit, how well the artwork fitted the theme and suitability for children's book publishing.

SCBWI is the proud sponsor of the 1st prize won by Jennifer Goldsmith.
