This 25th volume of American Illustration presents the "Selected" images from our annual competition held in March 2006 at the former studio of Richard Avedon in New York City. Images receiving a majority vote or better from our jury appear in the book and on our web site. From over 6,5000 images submitted, only 322 were selected to appear in this book and represent the best images from the year. Another 400 were chosen to appear on our web site.For our Silver Anniversary, we commissioned 25 artists to each create an image depicting on of the years in American Illustration's 25-year publishing history. Their work is presented as double-page-spread divider pages in this commemorative volume. We also created "trading cards" of the 25 covers with a complete list of credits and all the winning illustrators on the back of each card, with a special card dedicated to the founders of American Illustration.
