In July 2005, we lost two friends and passionate contributors to children's literature: Illustrator Ann Barrow and Writer Ruth Landers Glass. This loss inspired New England SCBWI to begin thinking about ways to honor these and other lost friends.
Because SCBWI was so important to both Ann and Ruth, we have decided the best way to remember these two remarkable people would be to continue their passion for helping other writers and illustrators by offering a scholarship in each of their names that would allow a writer and an illustrator to attend the New England event of their choice in the next calendar year for free.
Applications are now being accepted for the 2009 Ruth Landers Glass Writers Scholarship and the 2009 Ann Barrow Illustrators Scholarship.
Scholarship winners will receive one day's free tuition for the 2010 New England SCBWI Spring Conference or any other NE SCBWI one-day event including Encore, Salon or other one-day workshop that we hold.
Submission deadline is March 15, 2009
The winner will be announced on Saturday, April 25, 2009 at the New England Conference in Nashua, NH.
