// Welcome to the World Illustration Awards 2021! The Awards are presented by the Association of Illustrators (AOI) in partnership with the US-based Directory of Illustration (DI) and supported by our wonderful partners. This year we are celebrating the incredible resilience and creativity the whole illustration industry has shown during the difficult past year when the world battled the Covid pandemic. Over 5,300 entries were submitted from 82 countries, leaving our international jury with the unenviable task of selecting the winners and shortlist which you see in this catalogue.

But this is not all! You can enjoy these projects in full, plus in depth interviews, behind the scenes insights and a digital showcase celebrating the shortlist online at theaoi.com/world-illustration-awards In this second strange year where the world is upside down, the awards are a reassuring reminder of the strength, energy and creativity of illustrators around the world. Many have defied the threat of a collapse of their professional world and we are incredibly proud of all of them. Sabine Reimer, Awards Manager, Association of Illustrators

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 each 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 Innovation Award. 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, making-of videos, flipthroughs etc can be viewed in the online showcase: theAOI.com/world-illustration-awards
