The FIGURES FUTUR contest provides young illustrators with a platform for meeting artists from different corners of the world, and an opportunity to present to the general public as well as to the publishing sector their original works, and to propose new readings of prescribed works of classical literature.
All works under contest will be examined by a jury of professional people. It will give preference to artistic expressions that aim at bringing about new text/image relationships and creations that propose a personal, unique and innovative outlook.
The fifty or so illustrations selected, including the rewarded one, will be presented through a collective exhibition on the occasion of the 22nd Salon du livre et de la presse jeunesse en Seine-Saint-Denis (Books and Press for Youth Fair in Seine-Saint-Denis), from 22 to 27 November 2006. A catalogue will be produced for this exhibition.
