“The Illustrators of the Future Award is such an important competition because it awards young illustrators real-world benefits like advanced education, business relationships and, of course, cash prizes. New artists rarely get to know what goes on in the meetings and goes into the decisions that affect their art and it takes so long to learn. As a Creative Director, I have seen and worked with countless artists to produce the highest quality projects. Great direction doesn’t scold artists, hold their hand, or demand they realize your vision—it guides them so they realize theirs.” —Lazarus Chernik
