UPDATE: Thank you for the overwhelming response for afccSKETCH! Submissions are now closed. View all submissions online!

Come see for yourself the winning entries, which will be exhibited at the Book Illustrators Gallery from 14 May – 3 June at the B1 Exhibition Area, National Library Building!


Our online illustration contest is BACK! This year’s theme revolves around: birds, friendship and Japan. We accept works from around the world!

Submit an illustration inspired by these three keywords (you may refer to one word, or all three), and stand to win full passes to the Writers & Illustrators Conference! Submissions will be judged on skill, aesthetic quality, and creative interpretation of the theme.
