The Folio Society and House of Illustration are delighted to announce the launch of The Book Illustration Competition 2014.

Now in its fourth year, this exciting collaboration between House of Illustration and The Folio Society aims to champion the art of book illustration and in 2013 received over 500 entries from across the globe. The annual international competition is open to illustrators over the age of 18, both student and professional, with the winner receiving a prestigious Folio Society commission. Previous books featured in the competition include Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter and The Outsider by Albert Camus.
The book to be illustrated this year is Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.
Last year’s competition to illustrate Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was won by Finn Dean. Copies of the book are available to purchase from the Folio Society.
