Format is excited to announce our support of Booooooom on its first ever Illustration Awards! This international competition will grant awards to illustrators in five categories: Personal, Product & Packaging, Advertising & Promotional, Editorial, and Student.
About the Illustration Awards:
In addition to the $2,500 USD in cash prizes and bragging rights, all 5 winners (and 20 shortlisted illustrators) will be featured in, and receive a copy of, Booooooom’s special Illustration Awards publication. Designed specifically to showcase your work, this zine will not be for sale but will be sent to editors, art directors, and other industry leaders. Winners and runners-up will also receive editorial coverage on Booooooom, Format Magazine, and promotion across all our social channels.
In addition to the cash prizes, Format is offering 3 lifetime subscriptions to contest participants. Wacom is also awarding the 5 category winners with Intuos S tablets, and True Grit Texture Supply, who are providing 5 Everything Bundles including every product they offer for the app of your choice (brushes, actions, effects kits, paper textures, texture packs.)
