We are excited to announce the winners of the highly anticipated World Illustration Awards 2024. This year’s entrants displayed remarkable creativity and skill across the board. We were delighted to see illustration being thoroughly explored, celebrated, and developed as an art form. Our 2024 winners truly excel in their fields, illustrating complex narratives and ideas through their work. They also highlight the importance of illustration in our everyday lives, in books, news, packaging, murals, and more. We are proud to recognise these artists for their significant contributions to the illustration industry, and to showcase exceptional illustration talent from around the globe.
