2012 Winners
After reviewing the over 300 entrees for his award Tomie has chosen four images that successfully illustrate the “Chicken Licken” excerpt.
And the winner is….
First Place: "My number one choice was the illustration by Yvette Piette Herrera. The characters were well personalized with a very nice nostalgic touch to them. The round composition was a clever way of telling “a round robin story.” This illustration was my favorite." -Tomie
Second Place: "Carrie Eko-Burgess’s illustration was excellent in its graphic depiction of the story. The strong forms, color and contrast appealed to me." -Tomie
Third Place: "Rotem Omri’s three-dimensional clay work was charming although I found some of the forms confusing, such as, the purple and blue “dresses” or “stands.” All in all, it was a novel approach." -Tomie
Fourth Place: "I’d like to commend Lori McElrath-Eslick for her illustration. I was delighted by the paint quality of the character. I’d like to see the drawing taken further." -Tomie
We had an incredible group of submissions this year representing a variety of mediums and styles. Diandra Mae, one of our talented illustrator coordinators from SCBWI Houston has created an unofficial gallery of close to 250 of the entrees submitted. She is still adding entries and will continue to accept your submitions until all 300+ applicants are shown. Check out this year's talent, congratulate the winners and comment on your favorites:

Diandra compiled this gallery on her own and only included submissions from those who contacted her and wanted their work shown. Anyone who entered the award can send their submission to her for inclusion.

We encourage you to keep getting your work out there by updating your artist portfolio at SCBWI.org so you are eligible for "Featured Illustrator" and submitting art to "Art Spot" for a chance to be featured in The Bulletin.
