“The Fernand Baudin Prize” has been initiated by several graphic
artists-teachers who work in the book world. The prize is supported by
Brussels-Export. The principle aim of this initiative is to encourage
the creation of the contemporary book in the Brussels-Capital region by
honouring the most beautiful books. It is also intended to bring this
creativity to the notice of a wide public and give it an international
dimension through an exhibition and a catalogue which will be
distributed abroad.
<!--more-->
Belgium and particularly the Brussels-Capital region have undeniable
roots in the tradition of the book. This know-how, which has been
under-valued compared to that of its Dutch, Swiss or German neighbours
(who, for a long time, have honoured their books), will now come to the
fore on the international scene through the existence of a prize which
will support its innovations and its creators.
**Participants**
The following may participate:
1) Graphic artists (workshops, design bureaux etc. are also admitted)
2) Publishers
3) Printers and/or book-binders
