ILLUSTRATORS: You will be asked to submit your portfolio (5 – 10 pieces) or a 32 page picture book dummy before the event via a Google form. The event moderators will share your material (pdf format) with everyone in your group during the critique.

Links to the Google forms will be emailed to participants after completion of registration.
