Abstract

The V&A Illustration Awards have been running since 1972, with many famous illustrators receiving the prestigious and highly coveted prizes. In 2004, the Awards were strongly contested, and their success points the way forward for this important branch of art. A display of the award-winning entries for 2005 will be on show at the V&A from 7 December 2005 until 30 April 2006. The Awards are being expanded to widen the entry categories and to reflect new trends in illustration at the beginning of this 21st century.
