A series of international tournaments propelling talented illustrators onto the world stage. Artists battle head-to-head in 60-minute bouts to create an illustration inspired by a recent news headline.
See below overview from our most recent Major-League tournament:
Est. 2017 Illustrated World Series (IWS) is the premier Art-Sports (aSports) event IP and global leader in competitive creativity. An outlier, IWS is the world’s most unique Art-Sports ecosystem, high growth spectator sport and media platform. Like other mainstream sports expect: Fight-Night hype, leaderboards, trophies, press, pundits, magazine shows and big attendance.
All IWS tournaments are live streamed, some are also delivered IRL. At full strenth we produce upto six Major-League ranking events per-season.
The artwork created at our events is instantly recognisable and perfect for the NFT space. Our competition rules require a monochrome color palette and single color of the player's choice, this coupled with a news headline and 60 minute time slot gives the work created a uniquely identifiable look. All IWS entries carry ‘Proof Of Creation’ allowing them to be quickly authenticated.
Our players are tasked with creating illustrations inspired by recent news cycles meaning each tournament reflects a snap-shot of news stories from the period. IWS is the world's only sport committed to showcasing creative talent, humor and intellect while highlighting important societal affairs. All battles are live streamed with each entry scored in open tournament play.
Our Major-League tournaments enjoy high attendance, often on-par with some of the world’s biggest eSports events. There isn't anywhere else where Art-Sports fans come together and interact in such significant numbers. This is testament to the quality of our production but more importantly we're fortunate enough to work with some of the world’s most followed artists.
