Clavis Publishing launches Key Colors, the two-yearly national 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 $ 8000 and the winning work will be published by Clavis Publishing.
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. More information, as well as the submission form, can be found on our website https://www.clavis-publishing.com/keycolors2026
