The Jury hereby selects 230 bookplates for post-competition exhibition (including the awarded ones); the selection includes 42 centers of creative work with children and youth and 17 authors who sent their bookplates individually. Detailed list of authors and their bookplates will be published in the catalogue. At the same time the Jury would like to point out that a few dozen works sent to the competition did not meet its requirements and included pseudo-bookplates (no name / description of the owner of the library in the layout of the graphic), graphic-only or blurred printouts. It is rather disappointing that some very artistic bookplates were submitted in one copy from a few institutions, which does not allow for the functioning of bookplates as applied art in regular circulation. Nevertheless the Jury decided to review the most artistically interesting graphics (made using the techniques that allow multiple printing) and include them in the exhibition. They shall be presented on a separate board. The Final, Summary Meeting of The 13th ExLibris Biennale for Children and Youth will take place on 17 September 2010 in the ExLibris Gallery of Miejska Biblioteka Publiczna w śarach the Public Municipal Library in śary (ul. Wrocławska 11) at 01:00 PM (13:00). The programme includes: the meeting of prizewinners and the official opening of the post-competition exhibition and vernissage. On Saturday, 18.09.2010 there are integrative meetings and sightseeing of the town and region. 4
