First Contender for the Book Illustration Competition

 

That said, we did not want to pass up  the opportunity to celebrate the close contender for the Illustration winner, Jasmine Peach-Toon, age 11, from Woodgreen School.

It needed no introduction to see that this is a scene from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women - specifically described as the four girls discussing what they are going to do for Christmas.

You can tell why it was hard to make a decision, as Jasmine's drawing reflects incredible talent that she simply must continue to nourish.

Winner of the Book Illustration Competition

It was genuinely difficult to decide between the entries as they were all full of creativity and insane talent, but the submission we finally settled on by vote to carry the victory wreath is by Immy Holt, age 12, from Henry Box School, for its playful charm. Congratulations, Immy, and keep up the good work!!
