    WHICH ILLUSTRATIONS TO SEND?
    You don't have to send all the illustrations, send the ones you like the most. The maximum number of illustrations is 10. The minimum is 5.
    For example, you can attach only such illustrations:

    illustration of a Character, illustration of the details of his luggage, illustration of a magic item, illustration of a new location, illustration of a landscape.

    To compose a fairy tale and convey the mood, there will be enough small illustrations that will tell the reader how the Character, place or his things look like.
    Illustrations must be signed in the following format:

    Name and surname (in the language in which you ran the marathon)_Name of the day from the marathon to which the illustration corresponds.

    Examples of signatures according to days:

    1. Alexandra Dikaia_Meet the Character
    2. Alexandra Dikaia_Simple day
    3. Alexandra Dikaia_Magic item
    4. Alexandra Dikaia_The call

    To sign your illustrations, you only need to change the First Name and Last Name. Add cover if you want :)
    • When applying, carefully indicate your email address, Instagram nickname, and full name. This is necessary in order to contact you and correctly show you as the author.

    We really want to share our creativity and work with you with the World!


    Friendly advices from our team:
    • Consider carefully your willingness to share your story with the world. If your story is very personal or touches on complex personal events, perhaps even tragic ones, please consider how comfortable you would be in sharing it with the world.
    • If you really want to, but you are afraid to try, if you consider yourself unworthy of attention, please send us your fairy tale! Your story is unique, your creativity is needed! Throw criticism away!

    • Take your time, proofread the text, and think about what illustrations you would like to send.

    • Fill out the form carefully :)
    Thank you! We look forward to your stories!
