It does not happen overnight. 

Even though I have a illustration for ever year the time line is a little off because one year I believe it was 2014 I did not participate in that contest.
 I was working on "Tea with Queen"  

That year Tomie decided to have a 2 part contest.
It started right after the 2014 SCBWI Winter Conference and ended at the 2015 SCBWI Winter Confrence

This will be the final year of the Tomie dePaola Award. 

I am honored to have been apart of this award.

It has always pushed me to work harder.

Tomie's contest challenged me to work as a professional. Hit  deadlines follow the structure of the assignments and so on.

Thank You Tomie
