BIBIANA, the International House of Art for Children, presents a panel exhibition showcasing the award-winning works from the 30th Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava (BIB) 2025, one of the world's most prestigious international competitions for children's book illustration. The exhibition is held at the University Library in Bratislava.

Displayed across 25 exhibition panels, visitors can explore illustrations that received the highest awards at BIB 2025. Highlights include the BIB 2025 Grand Prix, awarded to an illustrator from Iran, as well as the other statutory awards: five BIB 2025 Golden Apples and four BIB 2025 Plaques.

Among the laureates is the distinguished Slovak illustrator Peter Uchnár, who has participated in almost every edition of the Biennial of Illustrations Bratislava (with the exception of BIB 2023). Over the years, he has received numerous awards for his work, and at the jubilee 30th edition he was honoured with the BIB 2025 Plaque.

The international jury also presented four Honourable Mentions to publishers and the Children's Jury Award, which was awarded to Japan. These distinctions represent significant international recognition for both illustrators and publishers, opening up new opportunities to present their work to audiences around the world.
