The award for Outstanding Traditional Style is given annually at ISCAcon for exceptional use of traditional media and techniques in caricature. Digital art submissions, or submissions that have been assisted or modified in any way by digital means, are considered exempt from this category. It was first introduced in 2019 at ISCAcon28 and while the award is planned to be included in future iterations of ISCAcon, it will not be present at ISCAcon29, due to that event's digital nature. It is also worth noting that it's sister category, Outstanding Digital Style, will also not be an award category at ISCAcon29.
Requirements
- Entrant must be a current Professional member in good standing with the International Society of Caricature Artists.
- Entrant must have posted a submission for consideration on their competition wall by the appointed deadline.

Winner Selection
All attendees of the event with voting privileges submit their ballot during the voting session, which are then counted that evening by the current sitting ISCA Board of Directors. The winners are announced the following evening at the ISCAcon awards ceremony.
