12th edition of KeyColours Award
International Contest for Illustrators of Children’s Books
BRIEF
About the KeyColours Award
Clavis Publishing and the city of Hasselt launch the 12th edition of Key Colours, the two-yearly international contest for illustrators of children’s books. Only a children’s book, intended for children from 2 to 7 years old, can qualify for the award. A professional jury will judge the artistic, literary and child-oriented qualities of the works.
The winner receives 7,500 euro and the winning work will be published by Clavis Publishing.
From all entries, a selection will be made for a children’s books exhibition in Hasselt. At the exhibition children will award their favourite illustration with the Children’s Award.
Apart from the winner, other entries may also be considered for publication by Clavis. The award and the resulting picture books will be largely discussed in the press and at book fairs abroad. For many illustrators this unique award is the start of a successful international career.
