FREE ENTRY / DGLAB - Grants for the Publication of Picture Books and Comics

The Grants for the Publication of Picture Books and Comics were created to promote Portuguese illustration worldwide. By Portuguese illustration we mean the work done by Portuguese picture book artists but also the one by foreign artists living and working in Portugal. The funds can be allocated to books already published and to unpublished works, resulting from foreign publishers proposals to Portuguese or Portugal based illustrators. 

The direct beneficiaries of this Funding Programme are the publishing houses.  Portuguese publishers can also apply, in any case the applicants must commit to publish and distribute, on an international level, works by eligible picture book artists.
