The competition is open to all artists who wish to express their creativity through the creation of a unique and original work, using the book as a form of expression.
Main theme of the competition
Each artist can participate with a work exploring any theme. Experimentation is the key to this competition. Artists can use any technique and material.
Optional theme
In addition to the main prize, a special recognition will be awarded to the artist’s book that best captures and represents the optional theme: “San Sebastiano Curone and his works of art”.

– Works of art: Any form of visual or architectural art present in the city that represents its cultural and artistic heritage.
