The Folio Society announces winner of Folio Book Illustration Award 2023

The Folio Society, the publisher of beautifully produced illustrated books, has announced Cristina Bencina as the winner of the Folio Book Illustration Award 2023. This is the second edition of the annual free-to-enter competition, launched in 2022 to mark The Folio Society’s 75th anniversary. Open to illustrators, students or professionals, who have not previously been commissioned by The Folio Society, the FBIA aims to find, platform and support new illustration talent from around the world.

This year, over 730 illustrators from 58 countries entered the competition, which asked entrants to illustrate a single scene of their choice from Ursula K. Le Guin’s The Fliers of Gy. A judging panel of five, including last year’s FBIA winner Evangeline Gallagher, who has since secured a number of new commissions for clients including Peachtree Publishing, and Theo Downes-Le Guin, Ursula K. Le Guin’s son and literary executor, selected five runners-up and one winner.

Winner Cristina Bencina, an artist and illustrator based in Colorado, will receive a £2,000 cash prize, £500 worth of Folio Society books and a portfolio review with the Folio Society Art Directors. The five runners-up will each receive £500 worth of Folio Society books and an individual portfolio review with the Folio Society Art Directors.
