SCBWI illustrators - show your work at the Bologna Book Fair!

A portfolio of SCBWI illustrator members work will be on display at the SCBWI Showcase during the 2012 Bologna Book Fair and available for browsing by publishers, agents and other attendees from across the world. In addition, a digital version of the portfolio will be posted on this webpage with thumbnails of artwork and contact information as we did for our 2010 Illustrators' Gallery.

Call for Submissions

This opportunity is open to PAL (Published and Listed) SCBWI members of all regions.

Illustrators are requested to email a low resolution PDF of the promotional piece they'd like to exhibit to IDP@scbwiBologna.org by February 14, 2012.

The promotional PDF should:

  • contain up to 3 images maximum, with your name and contact details clearly visible
  • be on one side of an A4 or 11 x 8.5 inch size page
  • be in portrait format (i.e. height taller than width)
  • have a Maximum size of 1MB.

All artwork will then be reviewed for inclusion.

Successful applicants will be asked to make a high-definition (300+ dpi) quality PRINT OUT of their accepted sample page, at A4 size which will then be posted to the IDP volunteer at a provided address. The print will be included in the Illustration Display Portfolio and taken to Bologna.

Participation in the Illustration Display Portfolio is free but space is limited so a careful selection will be made of pieces that work for the publishing world at Bologna.

Please attach and email your PDF sample to IDP@scbwiBologna.org by February 14, 2012.
