BOOK TITLE: The Snail and the Whale

What the jury said:
"The story and the way it has been transformed into a short movie feels epic in its scope and delivery. The movie is charming and beautifully rendered. It is also very faithful to the original text of the picture book; it brings wonderfully enlarged characters to life and expands visually the narrative by representing sea life with a 3D of delightful quality."

BOOK TITLE: Hilda and the Troll
AUTHOR: Luke Pearson
EXTENSION : TV SERIES Hilda
PRODUCER: Silvergate Media
What the jury said:
"The tv series is a great adaptation of a great story, with excellent screenplay, witty dialogues and a modern style that manages to be visually faithful to the graphic novel. The stories of the tv series go beyond the books and capture the mystery and magic of Hilda's world."
PUBLISHER: Minibombo
COUNTRY : Italy
BOOK TITLE: Tutto il contrario
AUTHOR: Silvia Borando
EXTENSION: APP Tutto il contrario
PRODUCER: Minibombo
What the jury said:
"Minibombo's app devoted to opposites is a charming extension of the book, noteworthy for its pedagogy. The app adds interactivity to the playful, colourful and fun features of the book. It is a perfect example of how a book narrative and a digital expansion should work together."
