The theme of 2025 is "ex libris". Works can be submitted until 8th of April 2025.
General Information
The 2025 exhibition will take place from the 8th of May until the 29th of June.
The theme of 2025 is “ex libris“.
This year, Estonia celebrates the Year of the Book, and TYPA has chosen Ex Libris for the theme of its annual contest. Latin for “from the books” or “from the library,” Ex Libris refers to decorative or printed labels placed inside books to show ownership. These often feature motifs that characterise the person or facility. Ex Libris usually include the owner’s name with the inscription.
Winners will be announced in four categories:
Grand Prix — selected by the artists’ committee.
Youth Prize — selected by the artists’ committee.
Public Prize — selected by an online voting system found on Facebook.
TYPA Special Prize — selected by the TYPA team.
