VIII Dulce 2020 Illustration Contest (RULES)
Pastelería Tolosana, have announced the seventh edition of the Certamen de Ilustración Dulce (Sweet Illustration Competition). An initiative aimed at providing young creators with a platform for the dissemination of their artistic proposals in drawing and illustration, which will help them in their promotion and professional development.
