The 3x3 ProShow is the only truly international competition for illustration. No other show is as completely international as ours. While many shows showcase the work of their own country's illustrators, 3x3 features the best work from all over the world.

Each year we receive entries from all corners of the globe and we're the only show where the judging panels are truly international.

And we're the only show that puts their annual on the newsstand at a price that every art director can afford. And with our unique size we're front and center on the shelf. Greater visibility for our winners. Greater visibility for illustration as a whole.

Plus our winners will be invited to participate in our next 3x3 Illustration Directory which is mailed out free to a highly targeted list of 6,100 art directors and art buyers in the US.

This year we continue to streamline our entry process and have lined up an impressive panel of judges for both our professional and student shows, our children's book panel is being selected now.

Open to all art directors, editors, designers and illustrators.

STUDENT SHOW

The 3x3 Student Show is the only truly international competition for students majoring in illustration. No other show is as completely international as ours. While many shows showcase the work of their own country's student illustrators, 3x3 features the best work from all over the world. Top honors in our past two shows have gone to young illustrators in Germany.

Each year we receive entries from all corners of the globe, from every major art school. Whether it's Art Center, School of Visual Arts, Ontario College of Art and Design, University College of Falmouth, Kingston University, the Royal College of Art or other leading colleges and universities, we attract the very best work. And your work is judged by illustrators who are also educators.
