The winning illustration was created by Robert Carter for the article “Cure or Curse?” in the September/October 2017 issue.

The illustration, depicting a soldier being bitten by a large, blood-filled mosquito, accompanies the article about the use, side-effects and research into mefloquine, an anti-malarial medication administered to Canadian Armed Forces personnel deployed to mosquito-ridden tropical regions.

The competition winners are selected by a jury of distinguished designers, art directors and illustrators. Winning entries will be distributed worldwide in the Communication Arts Illustration Annual print and digital editions and at www.commarts.com.
