About the event
The Arts Foundation Te Tumu Toi, Ann Mallinson and Unity Books invite you to join us to find out who will be receiving the Mallinson Rendel Illustrators Award for 2025.
Mallinson Rendel was a publishing company specialising in illustrated children’s books. The $10,000 award was established in 2010 to recognise the painterly skills, imagination and artistry in picture books, and was presented every two years to a children’s illustrator. Now, due to the continuing generosity of the founding donors, this award is now gifted with $30,000 every two years.
