3x3 Picture Books Show Winners Announced

After two weeks of judging our distinguished panel of art directors, creative directors, editors and illustrators have made their selections. To get into the show an entry must receive a majority of judge’s votes, medalists are determined using an algorithm based on the judge’s preferences. Honorable mentions must have at least three judge’s votes.

We’re excited to say that our medalists and merit winners represent sixteen countries this year.

Gold medals go to Sally Han, Australia; Ofra Amit, Israel; João Concha, Portugal and Owen Davey, United Kingdom.

Our Silver medal winners include Pei-Yu Chang, Germany; Yael Albert, Israel, Paolo d'Altan, Italy and Shu-Man Wang, Taiwan.

Bronze medalists are Angela Keoghan, New Zealand; Gerry Turley, United Kingdom and James Yang, United States.

Distinguished Merits were awarded to Catalina Silva Guzmán, Chile; Valeria Petrone with two awards, Italy and Chi He, United Kingdom.
