For the first time, work by the finalists in the annual Book Illustration Competition has been made into an exhibition – at the House of Illustration, which organises the competition with the Folio Society as a means of encouraging new talent.
All the entrants submit three illustrations plus a binding for a book chosen by Folio: this year, The Folio Book of Ghost Stories. Work by the 26 artists on the longlist will be on display, with the winner and five runners-up due to be announced on the evening of Feb 19.
