The Slovak Technical Museum and BIBIANA, the International House of Art for Children, invite the public to visit the exhibition Award-Winning Illustrators of BIB 2025, showcasing the work of the laureates of the 30th Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava.

A total of 291 illustrators from 42 countries took part in BIB 2025, presenting works that reflect a rich diversity of artistic approaches, techniques and current trends in children's book illustration.

The exhibition features a selection of award-winning illustrations by international artists and one Slovak illustrator from the BIB 2025 collection. Throughout 2026, this travelling exhibition has been presented both in Slovakia and abroad, including in Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, on Nami Island in South Korea, in China, Japan and Serbia.

This expanded version of the exhibition will present two illustrations by each recipient of the official BIB awards. It will feature the work of Grand Prix BIB 2025 winner, Iranian illustrator Noushin Sadeghian, who received the top award for her illustrations for the book Da’al’s Daughter, alongside other award-winning artists – recipients of the Golden Apples BIB 2025 and BIB 2025 Plaques.

Slovakia is also represented among this year's award winners. The BIB 2025 Plaque was awarded to the outstanding Slovak illustrator Peter Uchnár, who has regularly participated in the Biennial since 1999, with the exception of the 2023 edition. His previous accolades include a Golden Apple BIB 1999, two BIB Children's Jury Awards (2009 and 2017) and the Mayor of Bratislava Award BIB 2013.

For more than 60 years, the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava has been one of the most important international events dedicated to book illustration. It showcases the finest contemporary children's book illustration from around the world and reaffirms its prominent position on the international illustration scene.

The award-winning works offer visitors an opportunity to discover the distinctive artistic styles of illustrators from different parts of the world and gain insight into the diverse landscape of contemporary book illustration.
