Junceda Illustration Awards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Professional Illustrators Association of Catalonia (APIC) knows it is vital to recognise the work of professionals in the world of illustration. For this reason, we created the Junceda Awards in 2003, with prize categories that reward all areas of illustration.
The Junceda Awards aim to reward and publicise illustration in all its fields of application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Junceda Awards create exposure and media impact that help legitimise our sector, while spreading knowledge on illustration among the public at large.
We invite you to view the work of previous years\u2019 participants on the Junceda Awards website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barcelona Illustration Festival, Bill Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bill Festival is your annual illustration event. Illustration \u2013 and all the fields comprising what we understand as visual communication \u2013 is a discipline that can improve people\u2019s living conditions. It can raise awareness, inform and communicate about society\u2019s urgent problems. It does so from the perspective of innovative, creative, up-to-the-minute solutions that have an impact on the collective imagination within a specific spatial and temporal context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bill Festival is organised around a theme that becomes the programme\u2019s cohesive thread each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conferences and round tables in which creators participate highlight how they undertake their commissions in relation to the proposed theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year, the festival invites both illustration professionals of recognised prestige and those who can provide valuable insight on the theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021 edition,<\/a> the Bill Festival reflected on the concept of illustration and travel. It was held in a fully online format via direct videos on APIC\u2019s YouTube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have this year\u2019s programme along with documentation from previous years on BILL FESTIVAL<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional talks, webinars and debates within the profession<\/p>\n\n\n\n
