2012 3x3 International Call for Entries No 9

We’re ready to accept your entries in our 3x3 International ProShow. Full details are online; you’ll need to have your entries uploaded or postmarked by March 9—there are no extensions. Open to all illustrators, art directors, design directors, advertising agencies, design firms and publishers in all countries.

3x3 is the only true international competition for illustrators with nearly half our entries coming from outside the United States. Plus, our jury panel is made up of leading international art directors, design directors and illustrators. And all judging is done independently so we avoid any favoritism that might take place in a jury room. Our published annual appears on leading newsstands in the US, Canada, the UK, Europe and parts of Asia reaching art directors and art buyers at the most affordable cover price of any illustration annual. And this year we will be offering a free digital version of our annual to a select list of art directors and art buyers.

This year’s judges include Jordan Awan, Art Director, The New Yorker, Andrew J. Nilsen, Art Director, SF Weekly, Gary Cochran, Art Director, London Telegraph, United Kingdom and Shayne Pooley, Creative Director, Ogilvy & Mather, Hong Kong. Our illustrator panel includes Brian Stauffer, Valeria Petrone, Italy, Rod Hunt, United Kingdom and Marco Wagner, Germany.

So gather your best work, select your categories, upload and then let our judges have a look.

Deadline: March 9, 2012

And if you’re an educator, alert your students, the 3x3 International Student Show deadline is March 30, 2012. We'll be sending out the call for entries for our children’s show in March.
