Art is a word which sumarizes the quality of communication.
This unique new international contest for new and aspiring illustrators has been launched as the latest expression of L. Ron Hubbard's dedication to the future of novice creators of science fiction and fantasy. In 1983, he founded the now widely successful contest for new writers, L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of The Future. However, in the Golden Age he so fondly remembered, the illustrators of those stories were as important to the readers as were the writers. The characters and their drama came as alive as much pictorially as they did in prose. Particular writers and illustrators often formed strong relationships, exchanging ideas and working, in effect, as partners.
