The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators offer ongoing contests at their site. The most recent contest is the “Wacky Wedding” where illustrators need to send in thier version of an unconventional wedding.

The prizes are small but important to children’s books illustrators. The artwork must be original artwork created for this contest (i.e., it must be from an unpublished, non-contracted children’s book, or a freelance illustration that fits in with the contest theme). Any media can be used for the image — digital, paint, pencil, cross-stitch, paper, pastels, and so on. But it must be submitted electronically. Deadline: 1 June. Visit the site for details, and note that I’ve added the homepage for this site below right under “nonstop design competition” links.
