Key Colors is Clavis’ biennial contest for picture book creators. Held in international markets since 1996, the first US edition was inaugurated in 2020. Only a children’s book, intended for ages 2-7, can qualify for the award. A professional jury evaluates the artistic, literary, and child-oriented qualities of the works with the winner receiving a monetary prize in addition to being published by Clavis. For many illustrators, this unique award is the start of a successful international career.
