In light of the upcoming illustration contest, this is (I believe) every standard-sized card that was the winner of some sort of illustration or art submission contest.

I ignored the snap ones as I don’t really find them all that creative personally (whilst some skill was likely involved with all of them, they’re nothing more than screenshots at the end of the day). ![](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/f/fd806bde7e095a4da6d8f223e45d9598fb709076.png) I’m probably a bit bias with the 2009 Design Contest cards. ---

[In some cases](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/1st-efour-pokemon-snap-photo-contest-winners-revealed/27068/56) taking that screenshot can take more time than creating some of those illustrations. 😉 Greetz, Quuador ---

![](https://www.elitefourum.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0e3b99b659e3acc7426ef11fc7ed78df2687fd87.png) Kyogre, Gyarados, Magikarp mainly because I love water types the most and these are among my most favorite ones. Poliwrath despite being water type isn’t a favorite of mine but it’s definitely my favorite illustration out of the contest winners. Pikachu because the giant close up face. I love the look of the ho-oh, even though it’s a Illusion’s Zoroark card. Gourgeist card because the collage of ghost Pokemon. Charizard looks sleek and modern. ---

Was there an illustration grand prix in 2021? I have the 2019 Gardevoir, and the 2020 Charizard. It looks like they will announce another winner in 2022, but I can’t find anything about 2021. ---

It looks like they will announce another winner in 2022, but I can’t find anything about 2021. might be wrong, but i think the winner announced this year will be for the 2021 contest. i remember seeing something about an illustration contest for 2021… [www.pokebeach.com/2021/09/pokemon-announces-a-pokemon-tcg-illustration-contest-for-the-u-s-and-japan](https://www.pokebeach.com/2021/09/pokemon-announces-a-pokemon-tcg-illustration-contest-for-the-u-s-and-japan) [Next page](https://www.elitefourum.com/t/illustration-contest-tier-list/33511.md?page=2)
