clairvoyants 2024

Each book is a unique world. We are committed to ensuring that the worlds children encounter in books are the best they can be: beautiful, intriguing, and worthy of discovery in every way. We believe in seeking out these worlds and supporting the creators who have the vision and skill to bring them to life. Therefore, once again we invite authors, illustrators, graphic designers and all book lovers from Poland and abroad to participate in the international competition for an illustrated children's book project Clairvoyants!

This is already the fifth edition of the contest. Over 2,600 entries from all over the world were submitted to the four previous editions! More and more books based on the awarded projects can be already found on bookshelves and we have been working with other Clairvoyant participants on the new, upcoming books.

After each edition of the CLAIRVOYANTS, the most captivating entries are compiled to create a post-competition exhibition. Exhibitions from three previous editions have been travelling all over Poland and were exhibited in many schools, libraries and cultural institutions.

The competition aims to inspire the creation of new, valuable children's books and to provide talented designers, illustrators, and writers with opportunities to break into the publishing market. We encourage the development of thoughtful, well-crafted book projects for young readers and offer a real chance for these books to be published. Participants should demonstrate creativity, skilfulness, sensitivity and understanding of the children’s world. The competition is aimed primarily at book designers, students of art schools, illustrators and authors, but we invite everyone to try their hand!
