dPICTUS

Picturebook makers from all around the world submit their unpublished projects to be considered by a large jury of top international publishers. The jury publishers vote independently for their favourites, and the projects with the most votes go into a unique book fair showcase and are presented online to hundreds of publishers in the dPICTUS community. Picturebook projects from our previous showcases continue to be acquired by publishers around the world, and many of the artists have been approached by publishers and agents, interested in their work.
