BookILL
Fest - Book Illustration Festival is organized for the third time by Banat
Cultural Centre and Novi Sad Fair during the 20th International Book
Fair in Novi Sad
BookILL
Fest
includes internet competition for the best illustration of the book, exibition
of selected works, the announcement of winners, and 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.
