Same categories, just more winners.

Same categories: Fine Art, Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography but we’ll have separate sections for professional and student work. One more way we’re going to share the inspiration.

Speaking of inspiration, winners will be asked to submit their own person, place or thing that inspires them which we’ll reproduce in the magazine as space allows—we’ll also select one of the inspirations for the cover.

Introduce your work to the world. Enter the most prestigious competition for creativity in illustration, the Communication Arts Illustration Competition. Any Illustration first printed or produced within the last twelve months prior to the deadline is eligible. Selected by a nationally representative jury of distinguished designers, art directors and illustrators, the winning entries will be distributed worldwide in the Communication Arts Illustration Annual and on commarts.com, assuring important exposure to the creators of this outstanding work. As a service to art directors, designers and art buyers, a comprehensive index will carry contact information of the illustrators represented.

CA's Award of Excellence is one of the most-coveted awards in the industry. If chosen, winning places you in the highest ranks of your profession. Ask any creative director which competitions rank as the most influential and they'll place Communication Arts at the top of the list.
