APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance Summary of tho maln achlevements of We continue to run iwo mentoring programmes to support children's book the charity during the financial period illustrators at drfferent points in their developmenL For those just beginning, we offer the Buddy Scheme.. six months in collaboration with an experienced professional illustrator for artists taking their firsl steps into children's book illustration. In Ihis period, five illustrators graduated from the Buddy Scheme. and we recruited six new artists for the scheme. For illustrators whose practice is further developed, but who are still in need of guidance, we offer our fiagship programme, the Mentoring Scheme: nine months working with an established children's book illustrator, with a final exhibtbon, opportunities to meet publishers and SUPFlementary masterdasses. All mentees from the recent scheme created a book cover and spread to feature in the Picture Hooks Emerging Illustrators exhibition, which launched at the Scottish Storytelling Centre and then toured around Scodand, visiting Eden Court in Invemess (accompanied by a Picture Hooks family event, the V&A Dundee and the Macrobert Arts Centre in sts''ng. At the end of the tour, with the agreement of participating illustrators, the exhibition arOrk was transported to Aberdeen. where Aberdeen Libraries have identsfied a long- term home for the pieces. In September 2024. we opened applications for our mentoring dass of 2025. We received 184 applications from 26 countries and selected 11 candidates for inlen4iew. We have selected five participants for the new Mentoring Programme. We also hth three more fre&tenter competitions on social media to help generate inspiration and portfolio pieces for illustrators. We added a new element to our 'Before and After, illustration competition format: a free companion webinar from a specialist on the particular discipline being challenged by the competits'on brief. e.g. the page turn and body language, These were introduced to add extra support to illustrators entering the competitions by developing awareness around key illustration skills. promoted as PtUre Hooks Explores.
