If you are thinking of signing up for the Bologna Children's Bookfair Illustrators' wall, you will need to be fast - because applications will be closing May 10th, 2025.  

Remember, illustrations that are accepted for the event are placed alongside hundreds of other incredible illustrators, in the long and winding entrance hall, and online. Your work gets seen by hundreds of publishers, visitors and guests that all visit, the weeklong event.  It is an incredible sight to behold and so many illustrators get picked up by agents, publishers and the like.  

Your work will have the opportunity to meet every eye that peruses, this entrance hall.

This impromptu array of illustrations sets the stage for the entire event, and it just gets bigger and better, every year.   So please, if you need a break and would like your work noticed by someone - other than the backyard friends and family - do yourself a big favour and get your entry in, ASAP!

All the best for your application, and you never know where it might lead.
