    The 2023 PUBLISHER OF THE YEAR Award <\/strong>is<\/strong> awarded to the publishing house:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    BELGRADE CITY INSTITUTE FOR THE PROTECTION OF CULTURAL MONUMENTS, <\/strong>BELGRADE<\/p>\n

    The Belgrade City Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments enhances knowledge about immovable cultural heritage through expert monographs, presenting it as a dynamic field of interplay between the influences and stimuli of cultural, social, and political processes. The uniqueness and value of the books published by the Institute independently or in collaboration with scientific institutions since last year’s Book Fair lie in the fusion of fieldwork experience and knowledge of conservation and restoration with all the requirements of scholarly publications. Thematic, methodologically rigorous, and graphically well-designed publications examine the impact of Central European architectural ideas on the theory and practice of architectural and urban planning in Belgrade. This is exemplified through general influences and specific perspectives of prominent architects and university professors. The published comprehensive monographs contribute to a deeper understanding of the issues related to shaping identity within the broader social, cultural, and private context of the capital, which is more relevant than ever.<\/p>\n

    The jury members have selected the following works for the PUBLISHING <\/strong>VENTURE<\/strong> OF THE YEAR<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

      The award for the 2023 PUBLISHING VENTURE of the year is <\/strong>granted<\/strong> to the book titled:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      PRESIDENTS OF THE SERBIAN SLAVIC LITERACY SOCIETY, SERBIAN LEARNED SOCIETY, SERBIAN ROYAL ACADEMY, SERBIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND SERBIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS I-III, <\/strong>SERBIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND ARTS, Belgrade<\/p>\n

      In the rich selection for the Publishing Venture of the Year Award, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts stood out with a series of scientific collections, special editions, and monographs. The importance and value of this series are particularly highlighted by the three-volume edition dedicated to the presidents of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.<\/p>\n

      This edition aims to demonstrate, in an original way through biobibliographies of all the presidents over the past 180 years, the contribution of each of these individuals to the development of the Academy, its successes, and achievements in the fields of science, arts, and culture as a whole.<\/p>\n

      The publication about the presidents of the Academy and the societies that preceded it (the Serbian Slavic Literacy Society and the Serbian Learned Society) contains 42 biographies, authored by thirty-two academicians, university professors, and scientific collaborators. The biographies are presented in chronological order, according to their first term, covering the historical period from 1841 to the election in 2023. The complete text, spanning over 1200 pages, is divided into three sections: the first volume covers the presidents of the Serbian Slavic Literacy Society and the Serbian Learned Society; the second volume covers the presidents of the Serbian Royal Academy, and the third volume covers the presidents of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.<\/p>\n

      This edition, with the richness of its content, represents not only the life and work of the most significant institution in Serbia but also the entire life of Serbian science and culture over the past 180 years.<\/p>\n

      The publication is abundantly equipped with original and other source materials.<\/p>\n

      We believe that, with its overall content and significance, it deserves this great recognition.<\/p>\n

            The AWARD FOR CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE YEAR is presented to the series:<\/strong><\/p>\n

            “BOOKS THAT MAKE US GROW<\/strong>” BY DR. DRAGANA MALE\u0160EVI\u0106, ASSOCIATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL SKILLS PROVENS, NOVI SAD<\/p>\n

            Among a large number of exceptional children’s books published between the two fairs, six titles in the “Books for Growing Up” series by Dr. Dragana Male\u0161evi\u0107, published by the Professional Skills Development Association PROVENS, stand out with novelty and technological advancement. Equipped with QR codes and matrices, these books are dedicated to animals and plants, shapes and numbers, the body and the world around us. They encourage active participation of children through various media such as text, illustrations, audio recordings, video recordings, and matrices for testing acquired knowledge. This approach encourages children to independently explore, discover new content, and express their observations and thoughts. The classic form of content intended for children, printed or illustrated books, uses the irresistible appeal of new means and methods of communication – mobile phones, tablets, and the internet – putting them in operation for children’s learning and development. One of the advantages of this approach is that the books can be used without digital aids, serving as picture books for learning to read and multimedia tools for familiarizing children with reality.<\/p>\n

            The jury members have decided to award<\/strong> a<\/strong> 2023 SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR PUBLISHER, BOOK, OR COMIC to the following <\/strong>candidates<\/strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

              This year’s jury for <\/strong>granting<\/strong> award<\/strong>s<\/strong> and recognition<\/strong>s<\/strong> at the International Belgrade Book Fair consisted of the following members: Zlata Bojovi\u0107 (President), An\u0111elka Cviji\u0107, Bojan Jovi\u0107, Zoran Paunovi\u0107 and Marko Krsti\u0107.<\/strong><\/p>\n

              AWARD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BOOK AT THE 66TH<\/sup> BELGRADE INTERNATIONAL BOOK FAIR<\/strong><\/p>\n

              THE “BOGDAN KR\u0160I\u0106” AWARD<\/strong> for the most beautiful book at the Belgrade International Book Fair in 2023<\/strong> was given to the book “Kod ku\u0107e” (At Home),<\/strong> written by a group of female comic authors under the name “Stripotetke<\/strong>,” published by “Besn<\/strong>a<\/strong> kobil<\/strong>a<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

              The collection of original comics, “Kod ku\u0107e<\/strong>,” portrays the current moment we live in from the perspective of the comic authors who sign collectively as “Stripotetke<\/strong>.” With a clear and unobtrusive design style free from trends and extravagance, coupled with a very precise message that correlates with the front and back cover of the book, this edition irresistibly draws you into its narrative and doesn’t let go from cover to cover.<\/p>\n

              In addition to the awarded book, the jury wishes to highlight the design quality of the “Nor<\/strong>” series published by “Tre\u0107i trg<\/strong>,” as well as the substantial monograph “Afrika<\/strong>” by Rastko Petrovi\u0107, published by “Slu\u017ebeni glasnik<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

              AWARD FOR THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN’S BOOK<\/strong> is given to the book “Tri, \u010detiri, sad!<\/strong>” (Ready, steady, go<\/strong>!) by Dragana Mladenovi\u0107, published by the “Creative Center<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

              This exceptionally rich book, filled with highly attractive and visually uniform illustrations by the experienced master Boris Kuzmanovi\u0107, will be an essential reading for generations growing up. The “Creative Center” once again demonstrates its superiority from idea to execution to realization, quietly nurturing the creativity of our new generations.<\/p>\n

              SPECIAL RECOGNITION FOR A YOUNG DESIGNER <\/strong>is awarded to the book “Udovica i papagaj” (The Widow and the Parrot) <\/strong>by Virginia Woolf, published by Bulevar Books.<\/strong><\/p>\n

              This book has a distinctive identity from cover to cover. The choice of paper, binding, and meticulous illustrations create an exceptional, global impression. Illustrator and designer Marina Milanovi\u0107 skillfully envelops us in her visual world, with a specific illustration style and unobtrusive typography, which allows room for the aesthetic narrative of strong line drawings and muted pastel shades.<\/p>\n

              The jury, composed of Slavimir Stojanovi\u0107 Futro (President), Jovan \u010ceki\u0107, and Jugoslav Vlahovi\u0107, reached all decisions unanimously.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
