We are now taking submissions from exhibitors past and present to transform their ideas into a reality. The winner of the award will receive a £3,500 grant to print and publish their book for ELCAF 2020. Good luck to all, we’re looking forward to receiving your submissions!
Artwork by Jayde Perkin, winner of the ELCAF 2018 award. Her book ‘I’m Not Ready’ will be launched at the festival this June.
We’re delighted to announce the brilliant illustrator, comic artist and printmaker Jon McNaught as our ELCAF artist in residence for 2019.
Jon’s style is both intricate and beautiful, as translated within the visuals and identity of ELCAF 2019. His use of Hackney landmarks within the artwork has created a fitting and uniquely East London narrative for the festival this year. Having worked for the likes of Penguin Books, The New York Times and the BBC, Jon is also the Author of Kingdom, Birchfield Close, Pebble Island and Dockwood (Winner of the Angouleme ‘Prix Révélation’ award in 2012).
Jon’s ELCAF 2019 poster will be available in June as a limited edition screen-print.
The application portal is now closed! Thank you to all that have applied to be part of ELCAF 2019. We will be taking the time to go through all applications so please bear with us. We will be replying to applicants by the end of February, 2019.
ELCAF will be held on 7, 8 & 9 June.
