2025 Winner

The Jury has decided to assign the 2025 International Award for Illustration – BCBF/Fundación SM to an artist who, despite her youth, demonstrates a mature and distinctive style, marked by a clear and evocative approach and the use of light as a key narrative tool.

Her work offers a poignant social critique and displays a strong environmental awareness, urging reflection on the current consumption model.

The Jury members were deeply impressed by the impact and potential of the artist's work, which balances boldness with sensitivity. For these reasons, the Jury has decided to confer the prize upon Maria Haiduk (Ukraine), the youngest recipient to date.
