According to the organizers of the Exhibition of Illustrators, this year they received works from 3873 applicants from 92 countries of the world. The shortlist included 318 artists. Among them, an international jury selected 78 winners from 29 countries. Their work is like an encyclopedia of modern trends in children's illustration. Russia in this honorary list is represented by three illustrators at once: Katya Klimova, Maria Nesterenko and Elena Bulai, for whom this is already the second victory. Elena has already become a winning illustrator at the Bologna Fair in 2021. Such talented constancy cannot but rejoice.
