International and U.S. Policies for Minimizing Covid Risk during SCBWI Region
Events
1. International Regions Policy: International regions are required to comply
with local regulations.
2. U.S. Regions are required to comply with the following policy:
To minimize the risk of Covid-19 at all SCBWI in-person events with more than 25
attendees, event organizers are required to implement the following attendance
policy:
• Require attendees to submit proof of vaccination, or proof of a negative PCR
test taken no earlier than three days prior to the event, as a condition of
attendance.
At any SCBWI in-person event, regardless of the number of attendees, organizers
must offer each attendee a free disposable mask, provide hand sanitizing stations
throughout the event area, and post this policy in its entirety in areas visible to
attendees.
Comments regarding this policy should be directed to SCBWI headquarters by
emailing covidpolicy@scbwi.org. Include your name and contact information in
order to receive a response.
(The above U.S. regions policy in its entirety should be included in U.S. regions’ event materials
and copies posted/made available at the event.)
All Intensives and Mentorships for 2022/2023 Season will be announced here as they are confirmed.
DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS AND ITS AFFECTS ON TRAVEL, September 2022 – May 2023 will be Webinars. We hope to start In-person with Live-streaming events in September 2023. The in-person location as yet to be confirmed, watch our Home Page for updates.
Intensives offer a chance to work with an instructor in a group setting and really dive in and explore the topic of the intensive. The Intensives are in the planning stage and will be announced here as soon as they are formalized. For the 2022/2023 Season we hope to have two mentorships (one for Illustrators and one for Writers.)
Intensive pricing: SCBWI Member with a Season Ticket TBA; Member without a Season Ticket TBA; Non-member with a Season Ticket TBA and Non-member without a Season Ticket TBA. If you are a SCBWI member facing financial hardship due to Covid, please contact us at sandiego@scbwi.org. We will be offering a free Chapter Meeting, one time per person.
Another change in our chapter is a switch from snail mail mentorship/intensive registration to an online system utilizing electronic payment. With only sixteen illustrator and sixteen picture book author mentorships available, registration will be on-line on a first come, first served basis.

Registration for all the Intensives are open as of now. To register for a particular meeting, intensive, or other event: Go to My Region page, find the meeting, month and day, you’re interested in on the calendar and then click on that date.
