We have sent invitations to over 110 Australian children's book illustrators. Did our invitation arrive? We have sent emails and filled in contact forms and sent Instagram messages.
We need your support. We were so delighted by the success of the inaugural 2023 Mini Masterpieces fundraiser that we’re going to run it again to raise funds for the Australian branch of the International Board on Books for Young People, IBBY Australia.
We’re inviting celebrated Australian children’s book illustrators to donate post-card sized artworks for an online auction.
Formed in 1966, IBBY Australia is one of 82 National sections of IBBY, and each year must pay a membership fee of over $10 000 to remain part of the international IBBY organisation.
IBBY was established following the Second World War and aims to build bridges to international understanding through children’s books. As you may be aware, IBBY Australia promotes Australian authors and illustrators by submitting their work for several IBBY administered international awards, including:
• The Hans Christian Andersen Award
• The Outstanding Books for Young People with Disabilities list
You can read more about IBBY here and about IBBY Australia here and find out Gmail address.
The Mini Masterpieces auction will run from 14 November to 28 November, with the original artworks promoted as a unique Christmas gift. Hope you can participate!
