YABBA Funding Authors and Illustrators Visits to Schools

YABBA Ambassadors Project

[su_divider top=”0″]

This year YABBA received a $15,000 grant from the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund (CAL) to fund 25 Aussie Authors and Illustrators to visit 25 Schools.  Both the creators and the schools were asked to submit expressions of interest to participate.   The competitive process occurred in Term 2 and now this term we have the creator visits happening.

YABBA is delighted to have these Authors and Illustrators as Ambassadors in 2014.
