L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest

The L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest was launched in 1988

The Contest is open to new and amateur artists who have not been professionally published and paid for more than three black-and-white story illustrations, or more than one process-color painting, in media distributed broadly to the general public. The ultimate eligibility criteria, however, is defined with the word “amateur” - in other words, the artist has not been paid for his artwork.

Each entrant may submit only one set of illustrations in each Contest quarter. The entry must be original to the entrant and previously unpublished. Plagiarism, infringement of the rights of others, or other violations of the Contest rules will result in disqualification. Winners in previous quarters are not eligible to make further entries.

The entry shall consist of three illustrations done by the entrant in a color or black-and-white medium created from the artist’s imagination. Use of gray scale in illustrations and mixed media, computer generated art, the use of photography in the illustrations, are accepted. Each illustration must represent a subject different from the other two.

There will be three co-winners in each quarter. Each winner will receive an outright cash grant of U.S. $500 and a trophy. Winners will also receive eligibility to compete for the annual Grand Prize of an additional cash grant of $5,000 together with the annual Grand Prize trophy.

The Contest shall contain four quarters each year, running October 1- December 31, January 1-March 31, April 1-June 30, and July 1- September 30. To be eligible for a quarter, the entry must be postmarked on - or before - the last day of the quarter.
