About THE
AWARDS

The World Illustration Awards is a global celebration of illustration.

The Association of Illustrators has run a juried illustration competition since 1976. The latest incarnation, the World Illustration Awards in partnership with the Directory of Illustration, has been going strong and growing since 2015.

WIA focuses on supporting and celebrating creativity internationally, by connecting illustrators with their peers and the global illustration industry. 

The Awards are split into two groups: New Talent and Professional. All work, commissioned or self-initiated, is accepted across the ten categories as long as it has been created within the past year before the Call for Entries closes.
