  New England Writers' Centre

2021 New England Illustration Prize

Now in its fifth year, the New England Illustration Prize will be opening for submissions on 1 July.

We invite illustrators resident in any part of Australia and at any stage of their careers, to create a colour illustration suitable for a children’s picture book.

This year's theme and guidelines will be announced in due course. Standby for more information!

Interpretations of our theme can be in any way you wish — humorous, fantastical, realistic, or any genre.  The illustration can be centred around people, animals, supernatural creatures, robots, monsters, machines, whatever you like!

It can be created in any medium but must be able to be sent digitally, by email, as a file attachment.


This prestigious award attracts entries from artists and illustrators all over Australia and garners a great deal of attention from children's book publishers! 

Take a look at the 2020 Illustration Prize entries for an insight into the calibre of entries and judges.
