Iranian Publisher Wins Bologna Award

TEHRAN April 9 (Mehr News Agency) -- The Iranian Shabaviz Publishing Company will be awarded the New Horizons Prize of the 2004 Bologna Children’s Book Fair which is due to start on April 14th in the Italian northern city of Bologna.

“Exceptionally, the jury has awarded the prize not to one book but to an entire series of one publishing house. Our intent is to highlight the not uncommon case of a collection of books accommodating myriad graphic experiences, different styles, trials, research and story-telling. Yet all the books reflect great dignity, unfailing elegance, precision and originality. The collection is both rigorous and varied,” members of the jury said.

 

The prize is allocated to publishers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

 

The fair will continue until April 17th.
