The Fernand Baudin Prize is awarded every year for the most attractive editions and beautifully crafted books in Brussels and Wallonia. This is the fifth time the prize has been awarded and now a new, additional concept is being introduced: a book club.
Once a month, at various cultural locations, the Fernand Baudin Prize provides an opportunity to share and exchange ideas and opinions about books.
The idea is simple: bring along a book and introduce it to the others. Give a short presentation, exchange opinions about the design, read an excerpt aloud, add a personal anecdote or an in-depth analysis: all stories and contributions are welcome.
The book club embraces everyone: every reader or booklover, professional as well as amateur writers and all manner of book producers. Bring your ideas and books along to the Beurskafee.
Something for the elderly, you wonder? Wrong. There’s nothing so cool as a book club!
In English
The Fernand Baudin Prize? Is an initiative set up by a number of graphic designers, Brussels lecturers and professionals from the field of books. Since 2008 a jury of Belgian and international experts has been selecting the ”finest” books.
