La magnifica Biblioteca Salaborsa, nel cuore di Bologna, ha ospitato le migliaia di libri candidati ai BolognaRagazzi Awards 2026. Tra gli oltre 4.000 titoli presentati quest’anno da 73 paesi e regioni di tutto il mondo, sono stati selezionati i vincitori e le menzioni speciali.
Le giurie internazionali hanno assegnato i premi nelle cinque categorie consolidate: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Opera Prima, Comics e Toddler. Le giurie possono inoltre attribuire il premio New Horizons a un’opera particolarmente innovativa. Ogni anno è prevista anche una categoria speciale, e quella dell’edizione 2026 è Fables & Fairy Tales.
Molti altri titoli hanno tuttavia colpito profondamente le giurie internazionali di esperti, critici e giornalisti, che hanno esaminato l’eccellenza della produzione editoriale mondiale. La Bologna Children’s Book Fair è orgogliosa di dedicare una mostra speciale a queste gemme editoriali e di contribuire alla loro visibilità sulla scena internazionale.
Con 150 titoli provenienti da 43 paesi, la mostra testimonia uno straordinario livello di eccellenza creativa e artistica, che continua a crescere insieme al prestigio del premio, dimostrando che l’editoria di qualità fiorisce in ogni angolo del mondo.
Concepite e realizzate per l’intelligenza, la curiosità e la sete di conoscenza dei giovani lettori, queste opere rivelano una notevole raffinatezza e una sorprendente inventiva — una vera Amazing Bookshelf!
