Young Illustrator's Competition 2009 - Chapter One Promotions

There were not many illustration entries in this year's competition, but those that were submitted showed very different interpretations and techniques. There is a saying that 'a picture is worth a thousand words' and some of these entries demonstrated that. Thank you to the young illustrators who chose to send in their entries using this medium.
