ARTWORK CONTEST FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE MAP CONFERENCE
Are you an illustrator and SCBWI member looking for fame, fortune, and glory? SCBWI Kansas/Missouri has a contest for you! The 2024 Fall Virtual Conference is just around the corner, and we are in need of an illustration for advertising purposes.
SCBWI Kansas/Missouri is offering an illustrator a scholarship to the 2024 Virtual Middle of the Map Conference held November 2. The scholarship includes conference registration fees (i.e. critique or portfolio fees not included). The scholarship is available to SCBWI members (published or pre-published) who live in Kansas or Missouri. This contest runs between June 1-30, 2024.
SCBWI Kansas/Missouri will notify the winner in August.
Please note: Scholarship recipients are not eligible for future scholarships. Further, while members may apply for all scholarship and mentorship opportunities, if the same person wins more than one contest, the winner will be asked to select their top choice ONLY.
