Prize for Innovation, Centro del bel Libro Ascona - 2009

The centro del bel libro has held the international bookbinding 
competition 
"Prix Paul Bonet" (Paul Bonet Prize) several times, and has proved very 
successful.

The "Prix Paul Bonet", known for its high standards, was one of the first 
competitions of its kind, but other similar events emerged in the meantime 

and in 2003, the bel libro competition was newly positioned. At the same 
time, the former Swiss competition from the Foundation for the Sponsorship 

of Bookbinding created a new platform for apprentices in the craft of 
bookbinding.

The bel libro competition 2009 wishes to present innovations which assure 
a 
high quality of design, technique and function. It also wants to define 
new 
paths in the field of bookbinding.

The second bel libro competition as well as the 10th international 
competition for apprentices SfB will be held in 2009. The venue for both 
competitions is Ascona.

The book to be bound was chosen by the members of this organisation and 
specially printed for the bel libro competition 2009. The text block comes 

in loose sections. The work entitled "Cornet" is from Rainer Maria Rilke 
and 
is printed in three languages (German, French and English) as a special 
edition published by Kranich. The text design and print will be carried 
out 
by a Swiss company known for its high-quality works.

The award ceremony and private viewing of the first exhibition will be 
held 
in Ascona.

Further exhibitions are planned after this, and we will inform you as soon 

as we have further details
