Among the longest-running and most successful initiatives of the fair, the Illustrators Exhibition, established in 1967 as a showcase for discovering new talents, has been accompanying the evolution of the world of illustration for decades.
After gathering to select the 324 finalist entries, the international jury chose 76 sets of illustrations, representing 77 authors from 29 countries and regions around the world.
A total of 4,374 illustrators applied for the 2025 Illustrators Exhibition, submitting 21,870 artworks from 89 countries and regions worldwide.
The Exhibition represents a unique opportunity for the selected illustrators to gain visibility: each year, after the fair concludes, it embarks on an international tour that, over the following two years, reaches cultural venues in major capitals and cities around the world.
