CLAIRVOYANTS 2020 – Illustrated Children’s Book Project Competition

The children's books world is intriguing and inexhaustible and there is still a lot to discover. In our publishing house we always support artists and authors that pay special attention to the quality of children’s books, both in terms of their content and form. Therefore, once again we invite authors, illustrators, graphic designers and all book lovers from Poland and abroad to participate in the international competition for an illustrated children's book project Clairvoyants!

Due to the ongoing epidemic situation, 2020 edition will be a bit different than the editions organized in the past. The organisers slightly changed the rules of submitting the projects and the organization of the jury session, and have prepared a special surprise for the winners!

The aim of the competition is to launch the process of creating beautiful and valuable books for children and to give the opportunity to talented authors, illustrators and book designers to become known on the book market. The organisers want to stimulate the artists’ imagination and encourage them to create well-thought and refined book projects, that have a real chance to become published books. Participants should demonstrate creativity, skilfulness, sensitivity and understanding of the children’s world. The competition is aimed primarily at book designers, students of art schools, illustrators and authors, but organisers invite everyone to try their hand!
