November 14, 2022 - January 18, 2023

$30
2023 Illustration Awards

“A “winner” to me when I could see the concept being articulated in a way that had a point of view that was unique to whoever created it. I felt like the most exciting work was work that was executed in a way I hadn’t seen before because you could tell it was unique to a particular perspective and experience of the world.”

Allie Keith, Associate Creative Director, Rethink, Toronto, Ontario
