Anybody! We believe that magic and creativity can be found in each of us, so we welcome illustrations from participants of all ages.
The illustrations will be evaluated by an independent jury for all five age categories (0-6 years; 7-11 years; 12-15 years; 16-18 years and adults over 18 years)
The evaluation criteria are:
- Respecting the proposed theme (20 points)

The winners will be announced on 1 March 2021. The winning illustrations as well as their authors will be promoted on our website and Facebook page.
Although we encourage the illustration of fantastic objects or animals as diverse as possible, we reserve the right to remove from the competition works that do not fall within the proposed theme and/or go against our diversity, inclusion and equal opportunity guidelines.
Alohomora!
