INTERNATIONAL EXLIBRIS COMPETITION 2018

In 2018 Lithuania will commemorate the centenary of the Restoration of the State of Lithuania. On
February 16, 1918, the Council of Lithuania signed a document proclaiming the restoration of an
independent State of Lithuania.
Povilas Višinskis Šiauliai County Public Library, which has been actively maintaining and promoting
bookplates for two decades now, striving to meaningfully honour the centenary of the occasion and
paying tribute to the country’s prominent personalities and state institutions, is launching an
international bookplate competition «EX LIBRIS. RESTORED LITHUANIA 100».

We kindly invite all artists from all over the world to create bookplates, dedicated to the State of
Lithuania, its outstanding personalities and state organisations.

Participants have to submit 3 seals of every printed and autographed bookplate. Bookplates for the
Competition have to be sent before December 15, 2017 to the following address:
