Congratulations! It has the distinction of being one of only 577 professional and 106 student images from 7,453 submitted to receive at least 4 votes from the jury and is therefore eligible to appear permanently online in The ARCHIVE, AI-AP’s exclusive online juried collection, where over time illustrators can build an online portfolio of their winning images and where creatives can search and make direct contact with them.
