The Puchi Award offers a platform for the most exceptional and daring book proposals in the fields of comics, illustrated books, and hybrid projects that combine multiple forms of visual and textual storytelling. This award is aimed at discovering and promoting truly unique works that challenge conventions and offer fresh, inventive approaches to the art of storytelling through illustration and design.

With the upcoming launch of its next call for applications, the Puchi Award is unveiling a revitalized focus that underscores the importance of graphic elements in the storytelling process. The award, which will now be held every two years on a biennial schedule, is designed to give artists ample time to explore and develop their most ambitious projects. The financial reward has also seen a significant increase, now totaling €10,000, providing further resources for the selected creators to continue their artistic endeavors.

The Puchi Award is dedicated to supporting projects that exhibit a unique and confident artistic voice. The award is open to works that possess their own distinct personality and artistic vision, where images are not a secondary element but instead take center stage in the narrative or exhibition process. In these works, the images themselves carry the primary responsibility for conveying meaning and emotion, driving the storytelling forward in a way that words alone cannot achieve.
