  • Multiple submissions
  • There is no limitation as to the number of submitted projects. One author can submit several works, both individually and/or as a part of a team.
  • Text only/Illustration only eligibility
  • Projects composed of text only or illustrations only are ineligible. The purpose of the competition is to create the project of an illustrated book as a whole. Authors and graphic designers or illustrators are encourged to use the Facebook group (linked down in the how to apply section) where writers and illustrators looking for a competition co-partners meet. The only exception to this rule is a silent book, which by definition has no text, and the narrative is based only on illustrations. That kind of project can be submitted to the competition.
  • Submitting a work with already published text
  • The author of the already-published text must agree to have their work submitted and accept the rules of the competition, hence he/she must become a member of a team and a participant of the competition. It also means that the author has to own the full copyrights of the submitted text and they cannot be limited by any other agreements with other projects. As for deceased writers, only texts which belong to the public domain can be a part of a submitted entry. This applies to texts by authors who died before 1950.
  • Selection criteria
  • The juries will assess the project of a book as a whole. Therefore, it is important to work both on the graphic and the text sides of the work. The most important criteria are: artistic quality, originality, the form which inspires child’s imagination and the content which is aware of the child’s sensitivity.
