全体評


Hannah Li (Illustrator in USA)

It is such an honor to be the judge for this year’s JIA Illustration Competition.
I was amazed by the talented artists from the world and feel extremely lucky to be able to review each of their expressive entries.
I appreciate the time and effort, creativity, and most importantly, originality that these artists have put into this entry.
Shoutout to all the winners of this year. Congratulations!
I also want to congrats to all the artists who have submitted their work to this competition, it was very difficult to pick winners among so many great works.
Thanks to Japan Illustrators’ Association and Mr. Takahiro Kanie for delivering JIA Illustration Award each year and offering us this powerful platform to showcase our works.
Stay creative, stay positive, be kind, be brave, much love!


Ailun Jiang (Illustrator & Graphic designer in Germany)

As an illustration learner and creator, it's very fortunate that I can see so many excellent entries and participate in the review.
I’m gratified that, there is neither overuse of the epidemic theme nor gushing expression, but the real feelings, extraordinary imaginations, wonderful narratives, ingenious and unique techniques of illustrators in the shortlisted works.
Many works are infinitely experimental, reflecting some popular trends and directions of current illustration in the world.
A large number of digital illustrations were submitted to this competition.
I believe that with the development of painting applications, more and more impressive works will appear in the future.
Freedom is the soul of illustration.
Being eclectic, daring of try, formation of visual language and logic are essential for every illustrator to achieve outstanding works.
Some illustrations present fascinating religious themes and cultural characteristics, which benefit me a lot.
I would like to congratulate every winner, and hope that all participating illustrators will continue making persistent efforts to find the freedom of creation.


Belle Lee (Illustrator in USA)

Thank you JIA again for the great opportunity! 


Fatinha Ramos (Illustrator in Belgium)
