The candidates must be outstanding and already established professionals. The selected candidate must be able to demonstrate that the knowledge that they will take back with them will be used to improve the standing and practice of children's literature in their country.
Preference will be give to candidates from countries that otherwise would not be able to find sponsors for candidates to participate in such training opportunities.

The application must include:
