An esteemed panel of judges (possessing much expertise and very good taste) pored over portfolios yesterday to choose winners for the SCBWI Portfolio Showase! Laurent Linn, Steven Malk, Richard Jesse Watson, Nancy Conescu and Jamie Weiss Chilton chose a grand prize winner and three honor winners as well as several illustrators to participate in SCBWI's illustrator mentorship program.
Note that mentorship recipient Julianna Brion won an SCBWI student scholarship (one of three winners), awarded this year for the first time. And she's the recipient of both a portfolio honor and mentorship. Also note that honor winner Joen Deininger was a mentorship winner last year. (The wonderful SCBWI Illustrator Committee programs yield results!)
Here are the recipients...
Grand Prize Winner: ELIZA WHEELER |
Portfolio Honor: GREG PIZZOLI |
Portfolio Honor & Mentorship Recipient: JULIANNA BRION |
Portfolio Honor: JOHN DEININGER |

Blog: The Official SCBWI 10th Annual New York Conference Blog (Login to Add to MyJacketFlap) JacketFlap tags: SCBWI Portfolio Awards, LA10, mentorship award program, Illustration, Add a tag Really, if you're an illustrator and you're NOT an SCBWI member or attending the LA or NY conference, you are a monkey's uncle. Here's an amazing new opportunity magicked up by the SCBWI Board Illustrator Committee: The Mentorship Award is presented to a select group of six illustrators participating in the annual Portfolio Showcase, whose publishable work shows great promise and potential. The purpose goes beyond just the selection, in that the Mentorship Program is an intense advance-level portfolio critique that includes both individual reviews with each Mentor, and a culminating critique peer meeting with all Mentors and Mentees. This all will take place during the conference hours. Mentors this year include: Cecilia Yung, Art Director and VP at Penguin Young Readers; Pat Cummings, Illustrator, Writer, and Instructor at Parsons; Priscilla Burris, National Illustrator Coordinator; David Diaz, Award Winning Illustrator; Bridget Strevens-Marzo, International Illustrator Liason; and Rubin Pfeffer, Agent at East/West Literary Agency. This year's Mentees are: Ashley Mims John Deininger Andrea Offermann Debbie Ridpath Ohi Eliza Wheeler Kimberly Gee Let's call this idea FANFREAKINGTASTIC!

Thank you so much, SCBWI! I should also add that I was in the mentorship program last year, along with John Deininger, and couldn't have gotten this far without it. My many thanks to the mentors, my fellow mentees, and the judges of this year's showcase!!
