With this year’s Prize for Illustration exhibition about to open, Sally Hales chats to Wendy Neville and Mike Walton about the work on show and garners their advice on achieving competition success
The illustration world may be evolving but for creatives trying to get their foot in the door, competitions remain a great way to get noticed by those who matter. This summer, 100 new works will be exhibited at London Transport Museum on the theme of ‘Sounds of the City’, this year’s provocation for the Prize for Illustration, a co-venture between the Association of Illustrators (AOI), London Transport Museum (LTM) and Transport for
