Out of 5,000 applications for participation in the World Illustration Awards competition, 500 works were included in the long list, and 200 illustrations were included in the short list. The awards are given by the Association of Illustrators of the United States, but entries from 84 countries have applied for the competition. This year, works from Belarus and Russia were not accepted.
