Announcing Our Regional Equity and Inclusion Awards 2025
SUBMISSION WINDOW: JULY 15 – AUGUST 31
The Tapestry Voices team from the SF/North and East Bay chapter of SCBWI is pleased to announce the 2025 Equity & Inclusion (EQI) awards will be open for submissions from July 15 to August 31, 2025. With these awards, we continue to seek increased diversity in children’s literature, both in terms of content creators and the content itself.
We invite writers and illustrators with backgrounds and experiences currently underrepresented in our industry to create content that accurately and positively reflects the diversity of the world.
Winners will be announced in October and will receive free membership to SCBWI for one year and one free regional conference or intensive.
Details about submissions and awards will be released shortly. For more information, please contact us at [email protected].
