The Kelpies Prize for Writing and Illustration 2019

Another year, another fabulous Kelpies Prize award ceremony! A huge thank you to every writer and illustrator who entered this year’s prize, to our twelve incredibly talented shortlisters, and to everyone who joined us on the night (both in person and on social media).
