Concept artists play a vital role in shaping the look of environments and characters, and the entire mood of films, video games, animation and more. Their visual blueprints guide directors, designers and developers throughout the development process, not only in the early stages (See our feature: what is concept art?)
To recognise that work, the Concept Art Association bestows annual awards, commending the concept artists who have pushed the boundaries of their craft over the past year. There are awards for creatives who worked on live-action films, animated features and tabletop and video games, highlighting some of the best concept art of the year across a range of media.
