CA: “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” Like I stated in a previous post I used to savour each and every page of the CA annuals back when I was studying illustration at the Art Academy and still I still do. This year’s edition is featuring great works by Chris Buzelli, Alice Wellinger, Heads of State, Scott Bakal, Christopher Silas Neal, among others. Check the annual out here.

From their site: ‘We had 4,055 entries submitted to this year’s competition, a slight drop from last year, but the jurors were still enthused about the quantity and quality of submissions. “I was quite impressed by the sheer volume of submissions in the first round, and while I did see some familiar faces, it was exciting and refreshing to see illustrators I didn’t yet know,” said juror Cara Llewellyn. “It was inspiring to see so much work that spans so many different genres, styles and techniques in one sitting,” juror Brian Lambert added.” Further reading and viewing on their site
