Kids Christmas story illustration

This is what a business in Switzerland was looking for in their illustration design

We are small startup with the project of a creating a kid educational book (age: 5-9 years old). We have our first story (Christimas ferry tale) but no illustrator so fare. We have a quick precise description for each character.
For the contest we will need 2 drawings:

First drawing:
A 5 years old boy, light brown hair, sweet and laughing eyes, in a bib
Second drawing:
A living Christmas tree

In addition of the price, the winner might get a contract with us to fully illustrate the book (25 drawings). The contractor would receive a fixed percentage on sales as commission, and an advance as well. The conditional is used as we recently launched the project and the project is not fully funded yet.
