We’re inviting illustrators from around the world to share their work with art directors from The New York Times. Apply by June 21, 2024.
What it is:
We will select 80 illustrators to be paired with art directors from The New York Times for individual portfolio critiques. The art directors will offer feedback and guidance to further your work.
What we’ll ask:
Your name, your age, where you live, and to tell us a few words about yourself. We’ll also ask for a single link that directs us to at least 5 examples of your work: a personal site, an Instagram feed or a Google Drive. The deadline is Friday, June 21, 2024.
What we’re looking for:
All types of illustration will be considered, including photo-illustration, comics, graphic narrative, animation and other creative uses of time-based media. Unpublished and personal work is welcome. However we cannot consider any work that is produced using Generative A.I. (The New York Times will not be publishing any of the submitted work.)
What will happen:
If your portfolio is selected for review, we’ll contact you in August. You’ll then be paired with a number of art directors who will meet with you virtually to discuss your work (reviews will take place in early fall). Due to the volume of submissions, those who are not selected will not be contacted.
How to apply:
Please fill out this and submit this form by Friday, June 21, 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Participation is free and open to anyone who is 18 or older.
Note: Generative artificial intelligence (“GAI”) is a type of artificial intelligence system capable of generating text, images, or other media in response to prompts. GAI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data, and then generate new data that has similar characteristics. This includes DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney and other similar image generators.
