We're seeking original illustrations from Australian school-aged students to publish in a unique picture book by well-known children's author Aleesah Darlison.

The Challenge has been established in order to provide aspiring young illustrators with the opportunity to be published in a professionally produced children's book and gain an introduction into the world of illustrating.

Winning illustrations will be published in the book titled Yay! It's Library Day which is due for release in 2018. Illustrators will receive two free copies of the book and a $50 voucher to spend at Wombat Books on other titles. They will be acknowledged on the Wombat Books website as a rising illustrator and there may be opportunities for them to illustrate work in the future.

One illustrator will also be given the exclusive opportunity to design the cover for the book and will win a cash prize of $200.

Note: other illustrators will not receive payment or a cash award.

Selected entries will be posted on the Wombat Books blog and Facebook for public voting. The illustrations that have the most votes from the public will be shortlisted and provided to the judging panel to decide the finalists. The judging panel is made up of experts from the education and publishing sectors.

Schools are encouraged to support students in this competition and enter submissions together where appropriate. Schools will be provided with flyers and posters for display and distribution to parents and children.

About the Book: Yay! It's Library Day
An adventure through the library by Aleesah Darlison.

Yay! It’s Library Day is a fun rhyming story about two children, Oliver and Ivy, who love visiting the library with their dad.
With stories and their imaginations guiding them, the children go on grand ocean adventures, visit fairytale lands, watch elephants dancing in tuxedos and fly across the sapphire sky on a magic carpet.
