CALL "Illustrators for self-knowledge"
Graphic meeting committed to social change

"Trusting yourself does not guarantee success, but not trusting yourself does guarantee failure" - Albert Bandura.

The Editorial Saure's Lucky Books Biennial is a program for creative minds that are inspired by books, maxims and illustrations.
The Biennial always addresses a current problem, from the perspective of literary and graphic production.
The 2023 call is about self-knowledge and is open to participants from all over the world.
Are you a graphic artist, illustrator or cartoonist looking for a new challenge? Join the brainstorm and help create powerful images that convey truths, aphorisms or graphic maxims!
