We are pleased to announce that the online entry system for the 2015 V&A Illustration Awards is now open.

The Awards have been running since 1972 and aim to celebrate the best in published and student illustration from this year.

If you are a professional illustrator either living in the UK or publishing work here then we would love to hear from you. You can enter one or all of the three Published categories, for Book Illustration, Book Cover Illustration and Editorial Illustration. The illustrations you enter must have been published during 2014, but you may submit as many different projects as you like, with up to three images uploaded for each one.

Publishers, remember you can enter work on behalf of your illustrators.

Entry to the Awards takes place entirely electronically, details of how to submit your work and links to the online entry system can be found on the V&A Illustration Awards web pages.

Perhaps you are an art student or have just completed your course and are starting out in the world of illustration? In that case, you might like to enter the Student category. This is open to anyone who has attended an illustration course in the UK in 2013 or 2014.

As soon as you upload your entry it will appear on our Awards web page, so the sooner you enter, the sooner your work will be on display on the website for all to admire.

There are prizes of £2000 for the winner of each of the categories, plus £1000 for the Student category runner-up.

You have until Tuesday 9 December 2014 to enter the Awards. Winners will be announced at the Awards presentation party on Monday 18 May 2015.

No categories for illustrations that didn’t appear in books or magazines? And what if you’re just starting out but not a student? You can’t enter? Seems the entry parameters are rather narrowly defined.
