BookILL
Fest - Book Illustration Festival is organized for the first time by Banat
Cultural Centre and Novi Sad Fair during the 18th International Book
Fair in Novi Sad.
Book Fair is going to take place from the 1st - 6th of March, 2012, and Book Illustration Festival is going to
be organized on the 2nd of March, at Novi Sad Fair.
BookILL Fest includes internet
competition for the best illustration of the book, video and internet presentation of selected works, the
announcement of winners, and accompanying exhibitions and lectures related to
the book illustration.
The book illustration is a specific and
sophisticated area in the process of the book`s design .
The book is an artistic object. Its outward
appearance is as important as its contents. Illustrating, designing, and
equipping of books are inseparable parts of the process of book production and
that`s why BookILL Fest aims to draw
attention to the visual artists and to affirm the artists who illustrate books.
Contests for book illustrations are very rare in the world, and thus, this
festival is more important.
