Biennial of Illustration Bratislava

The Biennial of Illustration Bratislava (BIB) is one of the oldest international honours for children's book illustrators. First granted in 1967 to Yasuo Segawa (Japan),[1] it is one of the more prestigious children's book awards today, along with the Hans Christian Andersen Award. Artists are selected by an international jury, and their original artwork is exhibited in Bratislava, Slovakia. From the very beginning BIB has been held under the auspices of UNESCO and the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY), and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Slovakia. There are twelve awards, including a grand prize for unique and outstanding illustration:

  • 1 Grand Prix
  • 5 Golden Apples
  • 5 Plaques
  • 1 Honorary Mention Certificate to Publisher
The headquarters of BIBIANA – International House of Art for Children in Panská, Bratislava

In 1987 BIBIANA – International House of Art for Children was founded as a "cultural institution with international activity".[2] BIBIANA now also organizes Biennial of Animation Bratislava (BAB).[3]
