This International Illustration Award is dedicated to all the young people who, in 1968 played an important role in the cultural revolution that transformed the small centre of San Sperate (Sardinia, Italy) into a Museum Town, and particularly to the memory of Pinuccio Sciola (1942-2016), internationally renowned artist, founding father of the Museum Town.

The Award aims at spreading the universal message put out by the Museum Town, using literature for kids as a medium and activating a process of participation in relation to art production.

The illustrations can be created with any technique of choice. The drawing must be provided in JPEG format at 300 dpi in RGB. Those participants selected for the exhibition are required to send a high-definition print of their work no larger than an A3 format (42 x 29.7 cm), vertical or horizontal, to be showcased at the exhibition.

There is no entry fee.
