Dear Children’s Book Illustrators,
The Bologna Children’s Book Fair invites you to participate in the next Bologna Illustrators
Exhibition, which will be held from Monday 25th to Thursday 28th March

The Illustrators Exhibition provides a unique opportunity of
presenting and promoting your own works to the most representative
figures of the children’s publishing sector, thanks to the concurrent
Fair, the world’s most important event in this field.
The publication
of the selected works on the “Annual” catalogue distributed worldwide
as well as the travelling itinerary of the Exhibition to several
Japanese art museums (in co-operation with IBBY) increase the visibility
of all participating artists.Complete contest rules and entry forms are available online >> click!

Judging will be done by an international panel of art school teachers, museum curators and children’s book publishers.
Besides,

for Illustration. This annual award, founded in 2009, aims to promote
