2024 Booooooom Illustration Awards Winners Announced

After careful consideration, we are pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 Booooooom Illustration Awards, supported by Format.

We now have literally hundreds of new illustrators on our radar and we love that.

These five winners represent five different categories: “Personal”, “Editorial”, “Advertising & Promotional”, “Product & Packaging”, “Student”. Each is awarded a $500 USD cash prize, editorial and social coverage, and will be featured in our special print publication. Each winner also receives a Wacom Intuos S Tablet and a True Grit Texture Supply Everything Bundle. Thank you to Wacom and True Grit Texture Supply for these terrific prizes.
