Competition Winners Announced
As Norway was Guest of Honour at the Frankfurter Buchmesse in 2019, we decided to include all fields and actors of the book industry in Germany – including a group which is both dear and important to us: The Book Sellers. Among the initiatives we arranged, was a book store window competition. Book stores from all over Germany were encouraged to design windows promoting Norwegian authors and books.
