2nd Edition of the International ExLibris Competition Varna 2016

After an incredibly successful launch in 2014, when the first edition was attended by 218 artists from 36 countries now we received more than 900 works by 308 artists from 47 countries. The work of the jury was extremely difficult because of the many excellent authors and the high quality of most of the reviewed bookplates. Under the guidance of the Chairman of the jury - the prominent Bulgarian artist Dimo Kolibarov, the committee selected successfully 138 great artists whose 164 works will participate in a representative exhibition. Besides the first, second and third prizes, and prize for young artist (28 years), Association of Artists - Varna awarded again their prize - a plaque and a certificate. In this edition a Jury Prize has also been awarded, and its winner will receive a bookplate specially created by Dimo Milanov and dedicated to the second edition of the competition.
