PORTFOLIO SHOWCASE

Portfolio Showcase & Awards

The Portfolio Showcase runs all day Saturday. Illustrators setup their portfolios first thing in the morning and retrieve them at the end of Saturday. To be included in the Portfolio Showcase, you must sign up for it when you register for the conference. There is a $10 fee. When you sign up, you are automatically entered into the judging for the Showcase Awards. If you do NOT want to be included in the judging, please email [email protected] to let us know. Maximum size for standard portfolio: up to 15″ width (unopened) and height. For liability reasons, no electronic portfolios, such as iPads, will be allowed as part of the showcase. If you only bring an electronic portfolio, it will not be displayed and your reservation fee will not be refunded. If you go over the size constraints, it will not be displayed and your reservation fee will not be refunded. MORE GUIDLEINES HERE >>

The Austin SCBWI chapter is proud to offer the Emerging Voice Illustrator Mentorship. The winner will receive a year's mentorship with a local published illustrator to help bring their work to the next level. Illustrators attending in-person and entering the Portfolio Showcase at the Conference are eligible to apply. The mentor will choose an illustrator based on the portfolios in the Showcase.

This year’s illustrator mentor is TBD.
