The extraordinary experience of the exhibition series “Italian Excellence”, documenting the best of contemporary Italian illustration, together with the mutual friendship established between BCBF and China, has inspired the development of a new exhibition series: “Chinese Excellence in Children’s Illustration”. Each year, a jury of international and Chinese experts will select the best Chinese illustrators, thus contributing to building an outstanding overview of contemporary Chinese illustration.
The mixed Jury 2025 (Chinese and International), composed of Ao Ran, Li Jianping, Long Niannan, Cathy Olmedillas, Tan Fengxia, Marcella Terrusi e Mireia Trius, has the task of selecting the Chinese illustrators whose works will be displayed in the exhibition at BCBF and in the catalogue published in English and Chinese.
The 39 finalists of the 2025 selection were announced at the China Shanghai International Children’s Book Fair Friday 15 November.
The initiative is organized by BCBF, China South Publishing & MediaGroup and Sidee Cultural Communication.
