The Victoria and Albert Museum has been running an illustration awards competition for nearly 40 years. This aims to recognise and reward the best quality illustration in books, newspapers, magazines and comics. However, the awards have suffered from being extremely labour-intensive, had a very low level of awareness in the industry amongst publishers and artists and produced minimal permanent records of the quality and range of their annual output. Recently the museum has begun addressing these issues.
