SHORTLISTED WORKS

SHORTLISTED WORKS
Each entry is marked by the jury according to technical excellence, how well it communicates its idea or message, strong use of creative ideas and how it explores illustration as an artform. Submissions can consist of just one image (still or moving), a series of up to five images or a mixture of still and moving images. We mostly show just one visual to represent each project in this catalogue. More comprehensive information for the project, including links to animations can be explored online at theAOI.com/world-illustration-awards Each of the ten categories has one Professional and one New Talent Category Winner and Highly Commended Award.
The jury then selects their Overall Winners from the twenty Category Winners, highlighting the two most impressive works in this year’s awards. In addition, there are four Cross Category Awards to highlight the amazing variety of great work: the DI Award, the SAA Agents Award for New Talent, the AOI Member Award and the Huion Award for Digital Innovation. You can spot all winners throughout the shortlist collection by their badges. The complete shortlist with additional information on all projects and artists, such as interviews, etc can be viewed in the online showcase: theAOI.com/world-illustration-awards
