This year (2004) the winner of the Bologna children book exhibition's New Horizons award is the Iranian editor, SHABAVIZ PUBLISHING COMPANY.

Exceptionally, the jury has awarded the New Horizons prize not to one book but to an entire series of one publishing house. Our intent is to highlight the not uncommon case of a collection of books accomodating myriad graphic experiences, different styles, trials, research and story-telling. Yet all the books reflect great dignity, unfailing elegance,precision and originality. The collection is both rigorous and varied.
