PORTFOLIO AND ART SHOWCASE

Did you know that you can enter the Portfolio and Art Showcase for FREE at our Annual Writers and Illustrators Conference, September 29-30, 2023?

You don’t need to be registered for the conference to enter.

The Portfolio and Art Showcase is a HUGE opportunity for Alaskan illustrators to get their work in front of editors, agents, and authors looking for an illustrator. There will be about 140 people at the conference, some who will be self-publishing and need illustrators. We often get questions from authors on how to find illustrators. THIS IS A PLACE THEY CAN FIND YOU! One of our entrants last year was even commissioned to illustrate a picture book!

We would appreciate it if you'd let us know by September 22nd so we know how many tables we will need. We really hope you are going to show your work. We'd hate for you to miss out. Please email the AK SCBWI Illustrator Coordinator, Jena Lasley at alaska-ic@scbwi.org

What can you enter? A portfolio for sure, but you can also have a dummy (as long as it’s attached or inside the portfolio). One to two books are also welcome, so are postcards (or business cards).

When and where do you drop it off? Unless other arrangements have been made with the AK SCBWI Illustrator Coordinator (Jena Lasley), you will need to drop it off at Rasmuson Hall at UAA in Anchorage, on Saturday, between 8:00-8:30 AM. You can pick it up at the end of the day Saturday 4:00-5:00pm.
