Online Curator Talk: Illustration Awards

Join Curator Annemarie Bilclough for an introduction to the 2026 V&A Illustration Awards, the museum's prestigious biennial competition celebrating excellence in contemporary illustration. First established in 1972, the awards recognise outstanding work created for the UK market and showcase the breadth of contemporary illustration practice. Annemarie will be joined by the winner of the 2026 competition to discuss the artist’s award-winning work, their wider practice and the role of illustration today.
