We are delighted to announce the three winners of the 2011 IlluXCon scholarships:

ANNA DITTMANN,  LINO AZEVEDO,  and  ALLA BARTOSHCHUK 

This year's competition was remarkable, with over twice as many submissions as last year. We'd like to thank everyone who entered the competition—there's going to be much amazing work in the field in the coming years! 

We'd like to thank BROM, JAMES GURNEY, KEKAI KATOKI, LAUREN PANEPINTO of Orbit Books, and JON SCHINDEHETTE of Wizards of the Coast for serving as judges for this year's IlluXCon Scholarships.
