This year's illustration inspiration is based on Phillip Pullman's version of Red Riding Hood. Tomie received over 400 entries this year!
While the award is presented today, the announcement happened a little bit ago, be sure to check out the fantastic unofficial gallery put together by Diandra Mae.
From Tomie:
The task for this year's award was about UNIQUE VISUALIZATION of the MAIN CHARACTER.
As I warned, "So often, I have seen illustrators resort to generic depictions of the star of the story—too 'designed,' too ordinary, too much like characters already seen in media, especially on TV and video games."
That said I have chosen the following illustrators:
First Place - Lisa Cinelli
Second Place - Adrienne Wright
Third Place - Christee Curran-Bauer
