Attention, illustrators: An Ann Barrow Scholarship winner will be selected by the selection committee and awarded to an illustrator who is registered for the 2010 New England SCBWI Conference. If you are attending the 2010 conference, please consider applying. The scholarship pays full tuition for the 2011 conference.
