Second International Competition Ex-Libris Officine Incisorie 2018 now is over!


CALL FOR ENTRIES: The Cultural Association Officine Incisorie organizes for the year 2018 an International Competition of Ex-Libris inspired by the world of fairy tales.


The 2nd edition of International Competition of Ex Libris has been recently organised by Cultural Association Officine Incisorie.

This edition of competition is inspired by the world of fairy tales.

The theme of the fairy tale is a come back to our childhood, to the stories of the mother to accompany us to sleep, to those of the grandmother in front of the fireplace in the memory of times that are gone. How much life and how many dreams listening those stories and even more in that fantasy that remained in us at the end of the histories.

The fable born as a tradition handed down orally, then collected in finely illustrated books to stimulate the imagination of small readers.

The mission of the fairy tale is among a magical healing powers and a real educational significance.
It does not always have an explicit morality as in the case of fairy tales *, but it leads the reader to take a path of analysis, growth and selfaffirmation.

Officine Incisorie, with the second edition of the competition, wants to enhance this oral tradition through the hand of the engravers. The intention is to find a common thread that binds people everywhere through popular tales. Each artist will then be called to represent a fairy tale of his choice. In addition to the technical and executive aspects, the jury will also evaluate the commitment in the research of the fairy tale.
