professional show winners announced
We’re pleased to announce the winners of this year’s ProShow. It’s our largest show ever. Not only were there more entries, there were more winners and more medalists.
¶ You’ll notice some very familiar names among our winners but also quite a few new faces made this year’s cut. And I have to say in looking over the show there were very few weak pieces among the non-winners—the work was at it’s highest level ever.
¶ Getting a medal in our show is never easy but the quality of this year’s entries resulted in far more winners being selected by our judges. Just to get in the show you must receive a majority of votes from our nine judges. To receive a medal you must receive at least eight judge's votes and to receive the top awards you must receive all nine judge’s votes.
¶ And even with the bad news in publishing we had the highest number of entries and winners in the editorial category. I had expected to see unpublished category outnumber editorial and was disappointed that we didn’t see more self-promotion—this is the time to be promoting illustration. Our animation category netted the top winner in this year's show which was a first and our advertising, book and sequential categories all had top winners. And only half the winners were from the US making 3x3 a truly international show.
medalists
James Yang will receive our $1,500 cash prize as our Best of Show winner. $750 cash-value prizes will go to Gold Medal winners João Fazenda, Alessandro Gottardo, John Hendrix, Hiromichi Ito, Don Kilpatrick III, Andres Vera Martinez, John Solimine, Katja Spitzer, Jacob Thomas, Mark Todd and Stephanie Wunderlich.

About 3x3
3x3 is the first magazine devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration.
We take an in-depth look at art and environment of three illustrators. We explore their influences. How they work with clients. How they got their
first big break. Each article is written by a fellow illustrator who knows exactly what our audience wants to hear. From the US to Europe, Asia or wherever, we’ll stay tuned to what’s going on the world of illustration.
