The Biennale of Illustration & Graphic Art

The Young Illustrators Award is one of the most internationally renowned competitions rewarding creativity and innovation in personal contemporary illustration and graphics. It encourages and supports designers in their artistic practice and offers them an internationally recognized platform from which to launch their careers.

“Young”, in this context, does not refer to the age of eligible participants but to the works that can be submitted: in the sense of “current and fresh”. There’s no age restriction! The main goal of the YIA is to present the partly undiscovered and vivid scene of creators from all over the world to the public and to encourage the creative exchange. These works are important statements of contemporary aesthetics, demonstrating the current visual power of the international illustration scene.

The 30 people that are nominated for the Young Illustrators Award obtain the possibility to show their works at the next Illustrative in Berlin.
The first three winners will gain a price of 6000 Euro and the possibility to take part in a scholarship-program of Direktorenhaus in the following year. The Direktorenhaus’ scholarship program includes a two-month stay in a Berlin artist house where all winner live together and work together on projects. The scholarship ends with a common exhibition in Berlin.

According to the Public Relations of the Iranian Illustrators Society (CASI), Atyeh Zeighami is nominated for the 15th Young Illustrators Award. Due to the presence of this artist, the selection committee of the festival announced Iran as the honorary guest of this period and exhibited works of Rashin Kheiriyeh and Atyeh Zeighami in the institute.
