For the first time, the Illustrators’ Exhibition will go on display after the Fair to the general public in its original form from the 9th April to the 7th May in the Sala Esposizioni of the Bologna Archaeological Musuem.
This year every visitor, adult or child, will be able to serve as a member of the jury by voting for his/her favourite illustrator. At the conclusion of the exhibition 10 of these jurors will be selected at random and will receive from BCBF an illustration signed and numbered by the illustrator Daniele Castellano, illustrator of the image of the chimera that accompanied the 2017 edition of the BCBF.
The illustrator that receives the most votes will win a trip to Bologna to meet the public that selected him/her. The initiative is part of the wide programme of activities to emerge from the collaboration of the Bologna Children’s Book Fair /BolognaFiere with the Bologna Council. There was also great success for the events of BOOM! Crescere nei libri, (Grow in books), that will continue to the 9th April.
