// Welcome to the World Illustration Awards 2022!
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.
As the awards grow worldwide, the quality and depth of the entries continue to evolve each year. The varied mix of styles and influences seen across our shortlisted projects reflect a truly global community of illustrators.
This year’s selection is united by the artist’s lively and bold approaches to a multitude of engaging topics. It is a vibrant, colourful celebration of the power and resilience our industry has demonstrated in recent years.
Over 5,000 entries were submitted from 77 different 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

SHORTLISTED WORKS
10
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 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, etc can be viewed in the online showcase: theAOI.com/world-illustration-awards
