• American Illustration – American Photography (AI-AP)

  The AI-AP juried hardcover award annuals, offer high visibility and well-derserved recognition where it matters most. They are still published in large-format, luxurious, hardcover volumes, staying true to their founding principles of celebrating great photographers and illustrators, showcasing commissioned and personal work that’s ahead of its time, while honoring the publications, creatives, and agencies assigning and utilizing the winning images. Students and schools are also celebrated, along with established and emerging artists.

  Founded in 1982 by a committee of esteemed illustrators and art directors, AI-AP was created as a direct alternative to the leading organizations and companies of the day that were not recognizing unconventional, cutting-edge work being produced by unheralded artists who were pushing the boundaries of traditional commercial work.
