The V&A Illustration Awards are held annually to highlight the best book and editorial illustration published in the UK in the previous year. Their aim is to encourage, recognise and celebrate high standards of creativity in the industry. The awards are free to enter and offer some of the most substantial financial prizes for illustration in the UK.

Winning illustrations are chosen from editorial publications, children's books, adult illustrated books and book covers. Part of the V&A Illustration Awards, the Student Illustrator category offers prizes for unpublished illustration.

Our Professional Category judges for this year are the comedian and artist Vic Reeves; the editor of GQ magazine, Dylan Jones; last year's competition winner Tom Burns, and Moira Gemmill, V&A Director of Design.

Our two Student Category judges are Graham Rawle, a writer and collage artist whose visual work incorporates illustration, design, photography and installation, and Slawa Harasymowicz, a Krakow born, London based artist and previous V&A Illustration Awards winner.

Entry for the 2010 Awards is now closed.

The results will be announced at the Awards Ceremony on 21 June 2010
