3x3 Professional Show No. 8 Winners Announced

The judge’s votes are in and tabulated and the winners are being announced below. Judging was tough as always and what’s in the show has made the cut. What:’s nice to see is among the recognizable names are new illustrators who haven’t been in the annual before. When comparing it to other recent shows you may see some of the same pieces exhibited but I think you’ll also find many new pieces you don’t find. What’s unique about the 3x3 Professional Show is that it is truly international, work was entered from over 41 countries whereas most shows keep their countries borders, we expand it past our own.

Congratulations to our Best of Show winner, Chun Sheng Tsou, United Kingdom who won the unanimous votes of our judges. And to our Gold medal winers, Doris Freigofas, Paul Garland, Alex Nabaum, Shaw Nielsen, Valeria Petrone and Pieter Van Eenoge. A full list of winners is below.

This year’s judges included Jason Treat, Design Director, The Atlantic; Mark Reddy, Art Director, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, United Kingdom; Haika Hinze, Art Director, Die Zeit, Germany; DJ Stout, Graphic Designer, Pentagram and illustrators Andrew Bannecker, Emiliano Ponzi, Italy, Oliver Weiss, Germany and Andrea Innocent, Australia.

Congratulations to all.
