Competition Comment: Lots of strong entries in this category. Illustrations are definitely drawing the readers attention to the art. Some impressive art shows off a great deal of effort on the illustrations. Careful decision making on how to best place the art in the layout is also shown. Some illustrations would be clearer by adding wording; blending in the wording artistically would add to the power of the illustration.
