3x3 International Illustration Show No. 16

3x3 International Illustration Show No. 16 now is over!

The 3x3 International Illustration Awards Show 2019 has recently opened the call for entries for its 16th illustration competition with the mission to spotlight the best contemporary international artists they can find and encourage a new focus on the use of illustration by the global editorial, advertising and design communities.

About Competition

The 3×3 Magazine recently has launched its 16th International Illustration Show and invites illustrators from all parts of the world to submit their best work.

The 3x3 Magazine of Contemporary Illustration every year judging the world’s best contemporary illustration inviting all illustrators, art directors, graphic designers, educators, students, recent graduates, editors, publishers to submit they best work for its 3x3 International Illustration Awards Show.

The 3×3 International Illustration Show is hosted every year since 2003. This is the first publication devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration.

First we want to preserve today’s illustration by producing printed forms of communication to enable future generations to get a glance at what illustrators were doing during this time period. In this digital age it is too easy to lose track of an individual’s work, to search through past archives looking for information about an artist or specific project is time-consuming. With 3x3 the information is on your bookshelf or with our digital copies, desktop, letting you update your knowledge of a particular artist of interest. The two work hand-in-hand to provide a record of achievement.

...Our interest is in helping the best illustrators advance their careers and to that end we offer conferences, podcasts, portfolio reviews, workshops and affordable magazines and books, in print and digital editions, to help the next generation of illustrators learn from the experiences of the current generation.

Lastly, we want to promote in every way possible the importance, viability and uniqueness of using illustration in advertising, publishing, corporate, institutional, books and animation...
