The 2022 National Illustration Award has been given to Sergio García Sánchez, "an illustrator who expands the book format by taking graphic narration to other places, .....

and by multiplying the possibilities of illustration with images that narrate by themselves," according to the jury. In addition, the jury pointed out that he "enjoys his own unique language, as well as a technique with linear richness that goes into infinity."

The prize, awarded by the Ministry of Culture and Sports, is endowed with 20,000 euros with the aim to recognize and distinguish the work of a Spanish illustrator in the field of books and literature in any of the Spanish languages.
