Portfolio Contest

RMC's juried Portfolio Contest is limited to 30 attendees. The cost is $30. On Saturday, October 18, three faculty members will judge the contest. Winners will be announced during the "Dessert First" session on Saturday evening (5:15-6:30pm). All portfolios in the contest will be on public display during this time.

Prize: A one-on-one virtual portfolio consultation with an Art Director at a large publishing house. The runner up receives a $30 gift certificate to Boulder Bookstore.

No portfolio feedback is provided with this contest. Sign up for the Picture Book Roundtable Intensive or a one-on-one portfolio critique if you would like feedback.

Contest pre-registration and Saturday conference attendance required.

RMC's Illustrator Coordinator will contact participants with additional details once they have registered.
