ASIAN FESTIVAL OF CHILDREN’S CONTENTS 2013
The Asian Festival of Children's Content (AFCC) aims to foster the creation, production and
publication of children’s and young adults’ materials with Asian content in all formats and to facilitate
their distribution. Asia is rich in culture and tradition; a heritage from which content could be
developed. The AFCC draws the attention of content creators and producers to this vast opportunity,
and also showcases content already available, and promotes new materials that have been produced
and published.
The National Book Development Council of Singapore has been organising the highly popular Asian
Children’s Writers & Illustrators Conference for the past ten years. Leveraging on its success, the
conference was expanded to form AFCC which has emerged as a very popular professional and
trade event since 2010.
AFCC 2013 from 25-30 May 2013 will have 4 main conferences: Teachers Congress, Parents Forum,
Writers’ and illustrators’ Conference & Media Summit. There will also be Literature Lecture and
Awards Presentations. The festival will also have seminars, masterclassess, rights fair, media mart,
and public events throughout the 6 days.
This year the country of focus is Malaysia while the
centre stage last year. Next year India will become the country of focus.
